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?

(?-s).*Actually,
(?-s).*won’t bookmark any empty lines in the selected region.Try an even simpler
\Ras 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
