Subject: Implement something like (bookmark-bmenu-list) for registers
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2025 11:50:23 +0100

Severity: wishlist.

While analyzing source code files, I use (a lot) the functionality of
keeping buffer
positions in registers ((point-to-register) and (jump-to-register)).

But I miss being able to display the current list of registers in a new buffer
similar to the one generated for bookmarks with the command
(bookmark-bmenu-list).

And following the analogy, I'd like that new buffer to allow things like:
* Delete one, several, or all registers.
* Jump to the position pointed by some register, by clicking (or
pressing ENTER) on its line.

I'd very much like to have such a feature, and I think others would like it too.
Thanks.
