the named-bookmark might have a use that I'm not aware of, but it is useless to
me. Please let the user define (toggle) fast unnamed bookmarks, in one keyboard
action, no popup, just a check in the editor margin. And the key combination to
jump to previous/next bookmark.

This is similar to bug 16932.

I have seen two ways of doing bookmarks that I like. One is MSDEV, the other in 
VisualCafe. The bug referenced above is the way VisualCafe works -- which 
remembers the exact offset.

This request sounds like the MSDEV way. There Ctrl-F2 sets an unnamed bookmark 
that remembers the line and puts a marker in the margin. F2 moves forward to 
the next bookmark in the current document only. Shift-F2 moves backwards.

I found the MSDEV way very useful, but I think I like the VisualCafe way better 
(and I have each both full-time for several years).

BTW, I am getting used to the named bookmark in a view, but it does take more 
time and real estate.

I have been working on this and have a rough-cut working version.

I have the following question for the Eclipse UI team:

These "Fast Bookmarks" should they be:

a) regular bookmarks with a predefined name say "Fast Bookmark 1", "Fast
Bookmark 2" etc.

b) a new type of IMarker say IMarker.FAST_BOOKMARK

OK, let met be clear on my RFE.

download textpad demo (www.textpad.com), and use ctrl-f2 (togle bookmark) and
[shift]f2 to jump from bookmark to another. So simple. so efficient. No more
outline view to scroll and click...
