,----[ C-h k C-x C-x ]
| C-x C-x runs the command exchange-point-and-mark
|   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
| It is bound to C-x C-x.
| (exchange-point-and-mark &optional arg)
|
| Put the mark where point is now, and point where the mark is now.
| This command works even when the mark is not active,
| and it reactivates the mark.
| With prefix arg, `transient-mark-mode' is enabled temporarily.
