Question

When using doc-view in Emacs, I’d like to jump to different locations (e.g., move to the bibliography of a paper and back to where I was). I’ve tried using C-u C-SPC and registers to jump to different locations, but it doesn’t work when I’m in doc-view mode. So, do you know if there is any way I could save (and jump to) different locations while in the doc-view mode?

Thanks!

Normal marks don’t work, indeed, and registers won’t work either, sadly. But bookmarks will work (e.g. C-x r m and C-x r b). I’d welcome patches that try to make registers use the same infrastructure as bookmarks so that they also work under doc-view-mode and friends.
