Description Mike Lischke CLA 2004-04-10 13:38:15 EDT
Hi,

I would like to see bookmarks, which can easier be navigated than by the 
bookmark view. What I have got used to in other editors is that one can set 
(or remove if set already) bookmarks implicitely named 0 through 9 by a simple 
hotkey. For instance ctrl+shift+0 toggles bookmark 0 in the current line. The 
shortcut ctrl+0 would bring me to that bookmark (similar for the other 9 
numbers). This alone would be a tremendous help as I don't need to leave the 
keyboard when navigating bookmarked places. However another important thing 
should be added too. If I set a bookmark, which is already set in another line 
then remove the old location and use the new one for this bookmark. This way , 
for instance, one can use a certain bookmark to always locate the current work 
place in source code (which semi-automatically moves by repeatedly pressing 
the shortcut in the next lines where one works).

So the big advantage of quick bookmarks over the existing solution is that the 
can be used with the keyboard and do not require mouse input. Hence they would 
be a great addition to the current solution.

Mike
