In Emacs, what is the command to move the pointer to the location of the last edit?

What lisp config command would bind this command, if it's not already bound?

Also, If I wanted to bind C-x h, C-M-\, and , to a single C-M-\, how would this be done?

Thanks in advance

I do this all the time by typing C-/ (undo last edit), then C-f (or any other trivial movement command), then C-/ (redo last edit).

The function session-jump-to-last-change is part of session.el which I typically bind to these two key sequences for convenience: C-xC-/ and C-A-/. I pick those keys because it is similar to undo which is bound by default to C-/.

(autoload 'session-jump-to-last-change "session")
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-/") 'session-jump-to-last-change)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-A-/") 'session-jump-to-last-change)

By default there is no command to move to the location of the last edit, but you can easily add it by using something like http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GotoLastChange - download the elisp file, put it in your load-path and bind it:

(autoload 'goto-last-change "goto-last-change"
   "Set point to the position of the last change." t)
;; bind to C-x C-\
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-\\") 'goto-last-change)
