Function: jump-to-register

jump-to-register is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in register.el.gz.

Signature

(jump-to-register REGISTER &optional DELETE)

Documentation

Go to location stored in REGISTER, or restore configuration stored there.

Push the mark if going to the location moves point, unless called in succession. If the register contains a file name, find that file. If the register contains a buffer name, switch to that buffer.
(To put a file or buffer name in a register, you must use set-register.)
If the register contains a window configuration (one frame) or a frameset
(all frames), restore the configuration of that frame or of all frames
accordingly. First argument REGISTER is a character, the name of the register. Optional second arg DELETE non-nil (interactively, prefix argument) says to delete any existing frames that the frameset doesn't mention.
(Otherwise, these frames are iconified.) This argument is currently
ignored if the register contains anything but a frameset.

Interactively, prompt for REGISTER using register-read-with-preview.
