This is rather primitive, isn't it? Well, I don't use eldoc (I should.)

I use registers a lot. I register the point, the window configuration, I register chunks of text, etc. I also use ElScreen, which implements tabs for Emacs: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsLispScreen I could not actually live without ElScreen and I can't wait to use something native. > - How do you return to your previous location?

Configuration is like hair: with age, you somehow become minimalist :) Besides using register-list.el¹, I don't have any particular setup. Sorry I can't help more! Looking forward reading other answers... Best, ¹ http://lumiere.ens.fr/~guerry/u/register-list.el -- Bastien
