Marking
-------

   Emacs mark is referred to in the region specifiers `r' and `R'.
Note: Emacs Preliminaries, and Note: Basics, for explanation.  Also
see Note: Mark, for an explanation of the Emacs mark ring.

`m<a-z>'
     Mark the current file and position with the specified letter.

`m .'
     Set the Emacs mark (Note: Emacs Preliminaries) at point.

`m ^'
     Set the Emacs mark (Note: Emacs Preliminaries) back to where it
     was last set with the `m.' command. This is useful when you set
     the mark with `m.', but then some other command (such as `L' or
     `G') changes it in a way that you didn't like.

`m <'
     Set the Emacs mark at beginning of buffer.

`m >'
     Set the Emacs mark at end of buffer.

`m ,'
     Jump to the Emacs mark.

`:mark <char>'
     Mark position with text marker named <char>.  This is an Ex
     command.

`:k <char>'
     Same as `:mark'.

```'

     Exchange point and mark and go to the first CHAR on line.

     Go to specified Viper mark.

`'
     Go to specified Viper mark and go to the first CHAR on line.
