gumshoe VS better-jumper

As others have mentioned, better-jumper doesn’t automatically record points to jump back to. For that’s there’s both dogears and gumshoe.

I use Doom which packages better-jumper and binds `better-jumper-jump-backward` to `C-o`. I use this binding extensively in my workflow and it mostly works well, but there are a few scenarios where jumping backwards doesn't seem to work.

I am trying to combine the package better-jumper into consult so I can browse my jump points with consults nice preview and search functionality. I have tried to use the existing consult commands as a template and have come up with the following code:

Please check out better-jumper.

Opened this issue on the the better-jumper repo but no response from the maintainer https://github.com/gilbertw1/better-jumper/issues/13

Finally zeroed in on the cause. cl-defstruct isn't available when better-jumper is byte-compiled. This wasn't the case before because Doom preloads cl-lib before packages are installed, but recently, straight (our package manager) began byte-compiling packages in a child process where cl-lib isn't preloaded. When a macro isn't available at compile time, it is treated as a function. cl-defstruct is a macro. When treated as a function, its first argument, better-jumper-jump-list-struct is treated as a variable reference -- a reference to a variable that doesn't exist.

Check out better-jumper, maybe it suits your needs.
