  • 0

I have two buffers split side by side. The first window has an error log which contains line numbers with some error codes. e.g.

ERROR: CHSDFT: <description> in foo.v, line 200|0

I have opened foo.v in the second window. Now I recall reading about a nifty shortcut in emacs which works as follows. If I have the error log buffer in focus and my point is on top of the value 200, if i execute a keystroke, the point will move to line number 200 in the second buffer. Unfortunately I forgot the keystroke and after much Googling I still haven’t found it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Got it. Its C-u M-g M-g
    The description here says:

    Read a number n and move to line n in the most recently selected buffer other than the current buffer.
