Description Maxime Daniel CLA 2005-11-09 11:48:27 EST
Using 3.2 M3.
I'd love to be able to move bookmarks around rapidly within a few lines range.
My use case is that when I progress through the understanding of several code
areas in //, especially within a long file, I would need to move my bookmarks as
easily as I browse the code so that I can keep them really close to the focus area. 
A mouse drag of the bookmark wouldn't seem to bad. (Other, tricky options could
be thought of... anyway, what is really needed is a simple and fast way to move
the bookmark.)

Remy is now responsible for watching the [EditorMgmt] component area.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Yes it's still relevant. Maybe no one responds because the description is so concise and clear already.

What I can add is that bookmarks tend to wander around when editing code above the bookmarked line, as if it sometimes stays at the same line number rather than the same logical line.

Trying to move the bookmark up by breaking and joining lines only allows me to move the bookmark *down*, while right now I need to move it *up*.

This wouldn't be much of a problem if there were [an easy way](https://stackoverflow.com/a/31394632] to set/toggle bookmarks
