use a couple of hard-coded register-commands which got keys

for example

(global-set-key [(control kp-1)] 'gehe-zu-register-x)

with (control u) (control kp-1) the point is registered

(control kp-1) will jump back to it

(defun gehe-zu-register-x (&optional arg)
  "With C-u remember buffer and point"
  (interactive "P")
  (if arg
      (progn
        (window-configuration-to-register ?x)
        (message "%s" "Jump back with \[C-kp-1] or \\C-x j x"))
    (jump-to-register ?x)
    (message "%s"   "With Arg: remember point and buffer")))
