What about helm-all-mark-rings?

Hi @c02y
That package works with global-mark-ring, whereas this one uses its own storage. Having your own storage means you can save more things, too. For instance, history store window-start value and support window-local history. If you have two window and want to trace for different codes, the window-local history gives you independent history storage for respective window.

Further, try history-prev-history, history-prev-history, history-next-history and history-next-history, You'll back to original point even you didn't add the point as a history. It won't make you lost when walking through history.

Of course, you can setup history-advised-before-functions and history-advised-after-functions to add history automatically for you.

I don't know if you ever used helm or not, there are other mark-ring functions like helm-mark-ring which is for window-local and helm-global-mark-ring which is for global-mark-ring, helm-all-mark-rings is just combining the two into one, so you can preview all the positions in one preview window.

As for history-prev-history, history-prev-history, in helm, they are just the top of the ordered list in the mark-ring preview window(preview file name+line number+line content).

As for history-advised-before-functions and history-advised-after-functions, they are automatically in helm.

But I don't think I can add a history manually in helm like history-add-history.

Cool, I didn't ever use helm-mark-ring. But it sounds cool and this one maybe is just an lightweight alternative to helm-mark-ring. Anyway, thank you for sharing. :D

As for history-advised-before-functions and history-advised-after-functions, they are automatically in helm.

helm-all-mark-rings (link) looks interesting. I'll try to integrate it into this project.
