how to create a list of favorite files in Emacs?

Question

In GNU Emacs, I want to create a keystroke that will show me a list of my favorite files (not recent files) so that I can easily open them.

Is list-bookmarks the way to do this? Is there a better way to create and save such a list?

Answer 1

I think the bookmarks feature gives you what you want, and in fact a little bit more, since you can name bookmarks and bookmark positions in files.

C-x r m Add a bookmark for the current file at the current point

C-x r b Open a bookmark by name

C-x r l List all bookmarks
