#TIL that #Emacs also has a Global Mark Ring: the global mark ring records a sequence of buffers that you have been in, and, for each buffer, a place where you set the mark For programming buffers / projects, I've been using the xref stack to go back/forward when jumping around. But the global mark ring is super useful as a general purpose tracker of my context jumps. By default, C-x C-<SPC> jumps back. There is no forward like xref-go-forward, but it' a ring so it's possible to go around. Or there's always consult-global-mark to show the marks in a list and select from it.
