    @Shekhar-Singh said in ow to bookmark group of selected line:

    I wanted do same with a a simple hot key.

    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?

      @Alan-Kilborn said in ow to bookmark group of selected line:

      (?-s).*

      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… :-(

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