Hi.

I work with transient-mark-mode all the time since I use cua-mode to get
Windows "feel".
For remembering positions I use bookmarks.
Call the place to remember a (e.g.), evt. the other place b, and it gets
very simple to toggle between places.
For convenience I have set keys to the bookmark-functions:
  (define-key global-map           (kbd "C-c s")         'bookmark-set)
;; bookmarks: set and jump
  (define-key global-map           (kbd "C-c j")         (lambda ()
(interactive) (bookmark-menu-jump (list 'menu-bar))))
