In various projects there's certain parts I will keep jumping to.
Is there a way to effectively "bookmark" these parts so I can quickly jump back to a certain line in a certain file (or a certain method)?
I keep getting lost navigation the solution or doing a "find in whole project/solution", and if anyone knows a way then us lot will somewhere.
I literally thought of a way of doing this as I clicked post!
I could use the TODO feature, adding my own custom prefix of "BOOKMARK", or "BM" if I'm going to be lazy.
In Visual Studio, you can set markers in the code.
To jump between Markers:
Ctrl + K + N (for next)
and
Ctrl + K + P (for preivous)
To set a new marker
Ctrl + K + K
Yes, press the hotkey combination ctrl + k, k (thats ctrl and k, followed by another k) to toggle a bookmark.
then you can do ctrl + k, n for next bookmark and ctrl + k, p for previous bookmark
works like a charm!
Go to View | Toolbars and check the Text Editor toolbar so it shows up. It has toolbar buttons to Toggle (create/delete) a bookmark on the current line Ctrl-B, T, as well as navigation to the next/prev bookmark, where the navigation is scoped to the solution, folder, or document, depending on which button you use.
Once you have a bookmark created, go to View | Other Windows and select the Bookmark Window (or just press Ctrl-W, B). That will display the list of all the bookmarks. You can double-click any bookmark to jump to it, or use the toolbar button in the Bookmark window for prev/next.
You can also name/rename your bookmarks in the Bookmark window. Right-click on the name and choose rename, or select the name and click it again to enter in to the edit mode.
