^\w-$

I intended it to be ^\w+-$ but the + got lost somehow. :-(

The JsonTools plugin features a treeview that can show all the search results for a regex search and jump to their locations in the document.

For example, if I have this document:

Hydrogen-
foo
bar baz

Helium-
foo
bar baz

Lithium-
foo
bar baz

Beryllium-
foo
bar baz

Boron-
foo
bar baz

Carbon-
foo
bar baz

Nitrogen-
foo
bar baz

the query sort_by(s_fa(@, `(?s)^(\w+)-\r\n(.*?)\r\n\r\n`, false), 0) (entered in the text box at the top of the treeview) will allow you to scroll through the elements in alphabetical order using the treeview.

I have also created a PythonScript script that lets you sort multi-line blocks of a document alphabetically, but I don’t think that’s the best solution here because it changes the document, and you just want to iterate through it in a non-standard order.

Presume your “keyword” is some text at start of line followed by - followed by a line-ending.

If so, make a macro to bookmark that line using a regular expression search of ^\w-$. Assign the running of that macro to an unused keycombination.

To counter the “isn’t permanent” complaint, run the macro by pressing the keycombo when you need it.

Regarding “alphabetically”, they already appear alphabetic. But, if they weren’t, there wouldn’t be a simple way to “search through them alphabetically”.
