exchange-point-and-mark(2)

NAME

exchange-point-and-mark - Exchange the cursor and marked position

SYNOPSIS

exchange-point-and-mark (C-x C-x)

DESCRIPTION

exchange-point-and-mark moves the cursor to the current marked position (see set-mark(2)) in the current window and moves the mark to where the cursor was. This is very useful in finding where a mark was, or in returning to a position previously marked.

The current buffer mark line and column position may be obtained from within a macro using the variables $window-mark-line(5) and $window-mark-col(5).
