Description Missing name CLA 2005-12-20 16:44:24 EST
Presently the bookmark feature allows you to create a bookmark as follows:

  1) invoke 
  2) type in a tag name or accept the default picked up from the editor
  
To jump  to a bookmark

  1) Find and ensure bookmark view is visible
  2) select the bookmark row using mouse

while this is useful, it is not very efficient and not fully keyboard driven you have to leave the keyboard to pick up the mouse.

JBuilder has a quick bookmark option. You can use number 0 to 9 as bookmarks.

ctrl+shift+0 sets bookmark 0 at the current cursor in the current editor file
ctrl+0 jumps to bookmark 0 ( if that editor file is closed it is opened and cursor is set at the bookmark)

Bookmarks can be toggled,cleared etc. via keyboard as well.

We find this far more productive, fully keyboard driven and very useful for fast code editing.

Please consider this for future Eclipse versions.
