I don't see a one-by-one, timestamp ordered navigation in the question. All markers were created or updated in the past, so visiting them - in whatever order, is going back to previous positions. If you want to choose where to jump, and the choices show portions of buffer text or another easy way to identify them, you can explore the positions pretty easily. Is the time of visiting important - I don't see that in the question. Anyway, if this answer doesn't help then maybe another will. | |

| Jun 23 at 16:54 | comment | added | Drew | @JasonHunter: You can sort the completion candidates in many ways. By default: (1) alphabetical, (2) by buffer, then by position, (3) by flx score, (4) by last use as input, (5) by previous use alphabetically, (6) case insensitive, (7) extra candidates first, (8) special candidates first, (9) turned OFF. But yes, it might help for this (and other goto-marker commands) to add a sort order that sorts by marker-creation/change time. However, markers don't record the time of their creation or last repositioning, and doing that separately wouldn't be worth it just for this (IMO). | |
