Named Bookmarks

(1/3) > >>

John Z:
Named Bookmarks Add-in is an adjunct to, not a replacement for, Pelles Bookmarks. It provides a method to set a bookmark location identified by a name, and the ability to return directly to that bookmark location regardless of where the current cursor is in the file.  Many times in development there may be many bookmarks in a source file.  In some cases F4 needs to be used many times to cycle to the desired location.  This is where a Named Bookmark can help.

Set a Named Bookmark at the location (with or without a standard bookmark) and returning to that location is simply a matter of selecting the location from the list, 2 clicks + 1 dblclick, or 4 clicks  :)

This is the new version.  Please read the Readme_ver2.txt for details

For me its too long, not easy to use. Would need a window to click on. Like a palette window or a menu displayed with right click.
I have not understood the snippets.
Limitations to 10 is perfect, what useful is to have a lot of bookmarks?
Generally I have one bookmark into the datas and an other one in the code.

Grincheux:
An other idea:
Use Ctrl 0 to Ctrl 9 to go to a bookmark. Or Alt 0 to alt 9...
It's simple and fast.

That is exactly what it has "a window to click on"  See attachment
It uses right click in the source file too  See 2nd attachment

Yes they can be anywhere in the source files.  If only two bookmarks in a source file there is no benefit to using a named bookmark, standard bookmark would be much more efficient.

They are prewritten text that can be inserted into a source window.  BUT it is not required.  Snippets save typing alternatively //bookmark [{abc}] could be typed.

But I understand - the applied effort to use must be less than the any frustration trying to find a specific bookmark location with F4.

The Ctrl+ might be an idea but I'm not sure an ADD-IN can intercept keystrokes without being 'active'

Appreciate all the inputs and thoughts!

P.S. snippet file attached too.

Well,  if I had found this by TimoVJL 
https://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=6641.msg24974#msg24974

I would not have attempted to do yet another one . . . . . anyway good learning experience for me.

Great work Timo! (as usual  :) )
