      I have Notepad++ v8.3.3 on Windows 11.

      I really like how PSPad does bookmarks, by holding CTRL-SH-1 you set a bookmark on the 1 key. By hitting CTRL-1 you go to that bookmark. It’s not unusual for me to use 8 bookmarks in a file with 6000 lines.

      Can you possibly implement this type of bookmark feature? That would be great! That’s really the only thing I would like to improve about NP++.

      Thanks!

        @c-bacca Well crap, I thought this forum was for general help. Did I just do a stoopid? If this question needs moving feel free to move it to the right area.

          It is.

          Not really. You can discuss potential new features here before making an official feature request for them (that is done by following instructions HERE).

            That’s not much of a description. Is the implication that Ctrl+Shift+2 sets a bookmark of “type 2” on the current line, then etc for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8?

            And then each type of bookmark, and possible multiples set of each type, work like Notepad++'s single bookmark does, but with Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. to jump to bookmarks (in sequence) of the given type?

            It’s not unusual for me to use 8 bookmarks in a file with 6000 lines.

            Do you mean 8 different types?

            I’m really light on understanding you given what you’ve presented.

              Yes, bookmarks are numbered 1-0 on top of the keyboard for a total of 10 bookmark possibilities.

              And then each type of bookmark, and possible multiples set of each type, work like Notepad++'s single bookmark does, but with Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. to jump to bookmarks (in sequence) of the given type?

              Yes.

              Do you mean 8 different types?

              I think so. I sometimes use 8 bookmarks to jump from place to place in a single program file as I try to debug it. So if I have 5 files open in different tabs of the editor, the CTRL-1 in file1 would take me to say line 101, and CTRL-1 in another file tab would take me to say line 500. For each different file that is open I would set where I want bookmark 1 using CTRL-SH-1.

              In NP++, I can set a bookmark with CTRL-F2, then using F2 I jump from one bookmark to the next in order, I cannot jump to a single bookmark. I currently have to go through multiple bookmarks to find the section I want.

              Thanks for looking!

                It might not work exactly the same way that you’ve described, but I suggest looking into the Bookmarks@Dook plugin, which provides a “bookmarks panel” for easier navigating inside Notepad++.

                  There also might be some nuggets HERE for someone with ambition and skills enough to “roll their own”.
