Navigating with Bookmarks

Introduction

The editor of WebStorm provides two types of bookmarks:

• Anonymous bookmarks, indicated by check signs in the left gutter. The number of anonymous bookmarks is unlimited.
• Bookmarks with mnemonics indicated by or icons in the left gutter. There can be only 10 numbered and 26 lettered bookmarks within a project.

All bookmarks are indicated with the black streaks in the marker bar:

Once created, the bookmarks enable you to easily jump to the desired location within a file, or across the entire project.
