comment Macro to refactor several functions with similar structure
Also read up on the ways you can manually macroexpand your macro calls. Check (apropos-function "^\\(pp-\\)?macroexpand") and (info "(elisp)Expansion")

Also: Perhaps you just want to be using forward-sexp and backward-sexp instead of forward-word and backward-word? (I think half the time when people ask about making symbol characters word-constituent, it's because they don't realise that sexp-based movement will move over a symbol.)

My gut (which might be wrong) says that nothing in markdown mode would break if you made _ word-constituent, so I'd probably do that (via markdown mode's syntax table). I can't imagine wanting . to be word-constituent in any mode for writing prose, though -- then the full stop at the end of a sentence will be treated as part of the preceding word. Do you really want that?! (Why?)

comment Save current location in Emacs tutorial
Since Emacs 28, starting the tutorial adds tutorial--save-on-kill to kill-emacs-query-functions, meaning that the desired behaviour happens automatically.

My guess is that C-h v switch-to-prev-buffer-skip might be the user option you're looking for, to tell Emacs to avoid switching to a buffer which is already being displayed in another window.
