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?
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
