Description Petr Slegr 2000-02-03 01:44:50 UTC
Possibility to name bookmark. Name of bookmark should be file qualified. New action Go to bookmark would open (non-modal) window with list of bookmarks. User could select "MyFile1.MyBookmark" and do
 inter-file jump.
Comment 1 Marek Grummich 2000-07-25 09:07:59 UTC
Priority is changed to P4 (normal).
Comment 2 Jan Lahoda 2001-01-24 15:34:59 UTC
Only changed version to Development.
Comment 3 Henry Story 2001-03-06 03:47:17 UTC
I would really like to be able to jump to bookmarks accross files. The jump list
is not always the best way to do things. So named bookmarks would really help.

Additional Comments From Zohar Amir 2002-02-20 03:40 PST 

I would have liked it if netbeans enabled me to set multiple 
bookmarks that can be reached independently. For example: use 
Alt+<number> to set a bookmark (its number can be displayed where the 
current bookmark symbol is displayed, only with a number) and then, 
when I click Ctrl+Alt+<number> I'd be brought to the appropriate 
bookmark.
Obviously, if I set a bookmark '1' in file 'A' and I am now editing 
file 'B', clicking Ctrl+Alt+1 would bring me to file 'A', to the 
bookmark.


Additional Comments From Dominik Drzewiecki 2003-03-07 07:52 PST 

I'd suggest the following:
 - Ctrl+Alt+<number> as a toggle numbered bookmark action and
Alt+<number> as a jump to numbered bookmark action (the action
performed more frequently should be easier to reach, compare current
Ctrl+F2 vs. F2)
 - Preserve the current bookmarking system for unnamed bookmarks but
enhance it with backward bookmark navigation - shift + F2 (compare to
search navigation F3 vs shift+F3)
 - serialize/deserialize them...

Changing subcomponent to annotations.
Comment 12 _ moser 2005-03-14 12:20:04 UTC
Inter-file navigation for bookmarks seriously should be considered to be added.
At least the way I work it would boost my productivity.
Comment 13 Miloslav Metelka 2005-03-14 12:53:08 UTC
I also think that it would be useful but the feedback in the issue 8007
indicates that there is no strong demand for it from other users. We might
consider it for promoF or promoG as the current infrastructure would allow for
finding of all bookmarks for the currently opened projects.

Comment 15 Michel Graciano 2012-05-08 14:43:33 UTC
Is it really started? Anyway, maybe the new Bookmark view should address this at least partially.
Comment 16 markiewb 2012-08-21 23:49:08 UTC
Fixed in NB72.

See http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteworthyNB72#Bookmarks_View
* There is a bookmarks view with master-detail-style
* Bookmarks can be named
* Bookmarks can have own shortcuts
* Bookmarks can be accessed via "go to bookmarks"-action (subaction of "go to line") or specific actions like "Bookmark history popup next"
