This package provides visible, buffer local, bookmarks and the ability to jump forward and backward to the next bookmark.
It was created because I missed the bookmarks from M$ Visual Studio in GNU Emacs. I think they provide an easy way to navigate in a buffer.
Features:
- Toggle bookmarks. Jump to next/previous bookmark.
- Setting bookmarks based on a regexp. (Useful when searching logfiles.)
- Mouse navigation.
- Annotate bookmarks.
- Different wrapping modes.
- Different bookmarks styles, line-only, fringe-only or both.
- Persistent bookmarks (buffer local), also in non-file buffers (*info*) and indirect buffers.
- List bookmarks (in all buffers) in a separate buffer.
- Cycle through bookmarks in all open buffers.
