Bookmarks list window

EagleXK · Jan 17, 2019, 2:10 PM

Coding in Delphi IDE I’m often using bookmarks for code navigation, it’s Ctrl+Shift+1 to Ctrl+Shift+9 to toggle bookmark and Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 to go to bookmark number. I know N++ works in a different manner with bookmarks and I can have much more that 9 of them just pressing Ctrl+F2 to toggle on any row. My main problem is navigation: F2 and Shift+F2 is not enough. I would like to have some window with all bookmark lines with numbers and text (at least first 100 chars) when I can double click on a bookmark and be moved there. Something like “Find results” window (Ctrl+F, Find All in Current Document). Possible someone know how to achieve that or some plugin doing that? Thanks in advance!

@EagleXK

Try Bookmark Manager plugin?

@Alan Kilborn
Thank you, but it is not doing what I want. Yes, it allows to use bookmarks similar to Delphi IDE but it still does not list all bookmarks in a single window. Can explain why: I have huge log file with hundred thousands lines and I want to mark some important lines to see only key ones in one list and then be able to navigate to key row to analyze log deeply. Something like that :)

@EagleXK

by using pythonscript plugin and its internal console you could achieve it with a script like this

console.clear()
console.show()
_filename = notepad.getCurrentFilename()
markers = []
bookmarker_id = 1<<24
markerLine = editor1.markerNext(0, bookmarker_id)
while markerLine > -1:
    markers.append(markerLine)
    markerLine = editor1.markerNext(markerLine+1, bookmarker_id)
    
for line in markers:
    print '  File "{}", line {}     {}'.format(_filename, line, editor.getLine(line).strip()[:100])

but don’t know if it is fast enough on large files as haven’t tested it.

Little correction:

print '  File "{}", line {:<10} {}'.format(_filename, line+1, editor.getLine(line).strip()[:100])

just tested with a file > 5 million lines

File "... big.txt", line 184        test some text ...
File "... big.txt", line 2820230    test some text ...
File "... big.txt", line 3355083    test some text ...
