I haven’t tried it, but it sounds perfect. Thanks!

Have you tried ^X3 ? That's split-window-right . It'll go to one column  
while it queries you during export, but exports only your current window.

not sure what you mean by this.  i was replying to your statements
about your usage and the global mark ring.

>It isn't crazy at all, and works surprising well in practice.

to make sure we are on the same page:

we seem to be discussing the removal of a feature.  this feature is
not redundant.

key example:

in org maint, i can click on a link and, without any cognitive
overhead, and with certainty, run a command to get back to the link i
clicked on.  to me this seems like basic hypertext ability, such as
you might find in info or the back button on firefox.

i think your change will make this "back button" behavior as stated in
the previous paragraph impossible.  please correct me if that is not
true.

[for the bug that seems to have prompted your proposal, we could be
discussing pushing to the global and local mark rings.  but this does
not seem to be what we are discussing.]

you have suggested filing a bug report against emacs.  but the emacs
behavior is ancient.  emacs-devel is conservative.  emacs changing
does not seem much more likely than every nation on earth switching to
english as its official language tomorrow.

a wrapper to the global mark ring that makes you go to the exact
location, plus a backward and forward ability, would be good.
however, i am not aware of such a thing.

thank you for engaging.

I do not discuss your needs. My concern is about common use of the mark
ring. A dedicated mark ring for Org buffers sounds overkill.

Note that, in order to get back old behaviour once `org-mark-ring' is an
alias for `push-mark', you could do the following (untested, but you get
the idea):

 (setq my-org-places (make-ring 16))
 (setq my--org-places-count 0)

 (defun my-push-org-location ( location  _)
   (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
 (ring-insert my-org-places (copy-marker (or location (point))

 (advice-add 'push-mark :before #'my-push-org-location)

 (defun my-jump-org-location ()
   (interactive)
   (when (ring-empty-p my-org-places)
 (error "No Org location stored"))
   (if (eq last-command 'my-jump-org-location)
   (cl-incf my--org-places-count)
 (setq my--org-places-count 0))
   (let* ((m (ring-ref my-org-places))
  (buffer (marker-buffer m))
  (positon (marker-position m)))
 (set-buffer buffer)
 (or (and (>= position (point-min))
  (<= position (point-max)))
 (if widen-automatically (widen)
   (error "Org location is outside accessible part of buffer")))
 (goto-char position)
 (switch-to-buffer buffer)))

 (global-set-key (kbd "C-c &") #'my-jump-org-location)

You could file an Emacs bug report about it.

[O] "C-c C-x m" binding for org-meta-return dropped in 6965098a5

[Kyle Meyer]

Hello,

I noticed that the "C-c C-x m" binding for org-meta-return was dropped
in 6965098a5 (Use a single keybinding representation, 2018-01-15).  Was
this an intentional change?  I didn't see it mentioned in the commit
message, but maybe the reason for dropping the binding is that
org-meta-return already has two other bindings in the org-use-extra-keys
set alone.  If it was intentional, I'm of course fine with setting the
binding in my config, but perhaps the change should be mentioned in
ORG-NEWS?

hm, works for me with current Org mode. I guess you did not override the
log feature on a per file basis?
