-## 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
