If you download KeyBindings.zip from <<a href="https://herbs.github.io/" class="">https://herbs.github.io/</a>> and install that you get a command (Ctl-X Space NOTE that's two key strokes)) that inserts a `mark' at the location of the cursor. Then move to where you want to be, edit, etc., and then (Ctl-X Ctl-M again two keystrokes) will take you to the original `mark' and place the `mark' where you were editing.
