i
am very new to emacs. I use hi-lock-mode to highlight some words in a
big buffer, How can i directly jump to next/previous highlighted
position other than scrolling buffer?
thanks in advance.

For the similar thing I use the following approach:
Suppose I want to move point between the following text "abc",
"def", "xyz", "thisfunction *(", "[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]* *("
then I use the command "isearch-forward-regexp" (M-C-s or M-C-r)
and provide the concatenated string as input, using "|" or operator of
regex:
abc\|"def\|xyz\|thisfunction *(\|[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]* *(
That is the regular-_expression_ searching would help. Though It
becomes a bit slow in a very large buffer when the number of items
concatenated is large. The trick is to store the concatenated
regular _expression_ string in some text file, to retreive it in the next
session or modify it from time to time.
