        Open the Mark dialog (press Ctrl+m).

        Find what: (?-s).*
        Bookmark line: checked
        In selection: checked
        Search mode: Regular expression

        Press: Mark All

            So make a macro out of the operation I described.


            Is there a lot of usefulness in bookmarking a series of lines in this manner?

              Actually, (?-s).* won’t bookmark any empty lines in the selected region.

              Try an even simpler \R as the Find what expression.

              This has the added bonus of NOT redmarking anything.

              (I still don’t see a great reason for bookmarking a consecutive number of lines… Hmm, maybe if there’s going to be a sort and all of the marked lines would move to vastly different locations. I wish the OP would chime in an give a really good rationale for this)

                @Alan-Kilborn yes, there is usefulness to make a to-do list or keeping track of things, but i didnt understand how to make macro from that

                  I’d hoped for a better explanation than that… :-(

                    • end macro recording
                    • save and name macro

                        So just add Toggle Bookmark to the macro?
                        (When running with selection, don’t select the last intended line fully.)
