+## Using the jumplist

+

+To help with quick navigation, Helix maintains a list of "jumps" called the jumplist.

+Whenever you make a significant movement (see next section), Helix stores your selections from before the move as a jump.

+A jump serves as a kind of checkpoint, allowing you to jump to a separate location, make edits, and return to where you were with your previous selections.

+This way, the jumplist tracks both your previous location and your selections.

+You can manually save a jump by using `Ctrl-s`.

+To jump backward in the jumplist, use `Ctrl-o`; to go forward, use `Ctrl-i`. To view and select from the full jumplist, use `Space-j` to open the jumplist picker.

+

+### What makes a jump

+The following is a non-exhaustive list of which actions add a jump to the jumplist:

+- Switching buffers

+ - Using the buffer picker, going to the next/previous buffer

+ - Going to the last accessed/modified file

+ - Making a new file (`:new FILE`)

+ - Opening a file (`:open FILE`)

+ - Includes `:log-open`, `:config-open`, `:config-open-workspace`, `:tutor`

+ - Navigating by pickers, global search, or the file explorer

+ - `goto_file` (`gf`)

+- Big in-file movements

+ - `select_regex` (`s`)

+ - `split_regex` (`S`)

+ - `search` (`/`)

+ - `keep_selections` and `remove_selections` (`K` and `<A-K>`)

+ - `goto_file_start` (`gg`)

+ - `goto_file_end`

+ - `goto_last_line` (`ge`)

+ - `:goto 123` / `:123` / `123G`

+ - `goto_definition` (`gd`)

+ - `goto_declaration` (`gD`)

+ - `goto_type_definition` (`gy`)

+ - `goto_reference` (`gr`)

+- Other

+ - `Ctrl-s` manually creates a jump

+ - Trying to close a modified buffer can switch you to that buffer and create a jump

+ - The debugger can create jumps as you jump stack frames
