Bookmarks

Navigate | Bookmarks | Bookmarks…
Ctrl+`

For you custom navigation needs, dotPeek provides a way of marking code lines with bookmarks and navigating between them.

There are two types of bookmarks:

  • Numbered bookmarks - you can toggle each bookmark of this type and navigate to each of them with the dedicated shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+<digit> toggles the corresponding bookmark; Ctrl+<digit> navigates to the corresponding bookmark. You can have up to 10 numbered bookmarks simultaneously.
  • Anonymous bookmarks - these bookmarks can be only toggled and navigated from the bookmarks pop-up. You can have unlimited number of these bookmarks.

Bookmarks are displayed in the left part of the editor. Numbered bookmarks have small numbers, unnumbered bookmarks have solid fill. Here is how a numbered bookmark #3 looks like: ThemedIcon Bookmark3 Screen Gray
Note that bookmark icons do not react on mouse clicks. To operate on bookmarks, use the corresponding shortcuts or menu commands.

To add a numbered bookmark, press Ctrl+Shift+<digit>. If this number is occupied by another bookmark, it will be replaced.
Both numbered and unnumbered bookmarks can be added with the bookmarks pop-up as described below.
