emacs: using bookmark to open a file but always in a given position

Question

emacs. when using bookmarks to open a file, is there a way to always open at a particular position of the file?

thanks.

Answer 1

Emacs default behavior when bookmarking with C-x r m is to bookmark the file AND the position. So, if you use that command (bookmark-set) it will have the behavior you're asking for.

If you C-h k C-x r m to view the documentation:

C-x r m runs the command bookmark-set, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `bookmark.el'.

It is bound to C-x r m, .

(bookmark-set &optional NAME NO-OVERWRITE)

Set a bookmark named NAME at the current location.
