% should add to the jump list

[antoyo]

Hi.
Due to vim muscle memory, I often press % instead of mm, but the problem is that this jumps to the end of the file, so I often want to go back to where I was with Ctrl-O, but this doesn't work.
I suggest % adds to the jump list in order to be able to go back with Ctrl-O.
Thanks.

I opened a simple PR that appears to fix this for me: #6783

I think this is better addressed by #6695 or #1596. You can keybind around it in the meantime:

# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[keys.normal]
"%" = ["push_selection", "select_all"]

I don't want to see % add to the jumplist: depending on your workflow % can be really common to use (for example for replacing all regex matches around a document) and pushing to the jumplist for every % would make too many jump points.

Thanks.

For people finding this issue, the command is save_selection, not push_selection.
