Support

Bookmarks is an extension created for Visual Studio Code. If you find it useful, please consider supporting it.

Bookmarks

It helps you to navigate in your code, moving between important positions easily and quickly. No more need to search for code. It also supports a set of selection commands, which allows you to select bookmarked lines and regions between bookmarked lines. It's really useful for log file analysis.

Here are some of the features that Bookmarks provides:

Mark/unmark positions in your code
Mark positions in your code and give it name
Jump forward and backward between bookmarks
Icons in gutter and overview ruler
See a list of all Bookmarks in one file and project
Select lines and regions with bookmarks
A dedicated Side Bar

Features

Available commands

Bookmarks: Toggle Mark/unmark positions with bookmarks
Bookmarks: Toggle Labeled Mark labeled bookmarks
Bookmarks: Jump to Next Move the cursor forward, to the bookmark below
Bookmarks: Jump to Previous Move the cursor backward, to the bookmark above
Bookmarks: List List all bookmarks in the current file
Bookmarks: List from All Files List all bookmarks from all files
Bookmarks: Clear remove all bookmarks in the current file
Bookmarks: Clear from All Files remove all bookmarks from all files
Bookmarks (Selection): Select Lines Select all lines that contains bookmarks

Bookmarks (Selection): Shrink Selection Shrink the select text to the Previous/Next bookmark

Manage your bookmarks

Toggle / Toggle Labeled

You can easily Mark/Unmark bookmarks on any position. You can even define Labels for each bookmark.

Navigation

Jump to Next / Previous

Quicky move between bookmarks backward and forward, even if located outside the active file.

List / List from All Files

List all bookmarks from the current file/project and easily navigate to any of them. It shows a line preview and temporarily scroll to its position.

Bookmarks from the active file only shows the line number and its contents
Bookmarks from other files in the project also shows the relative path

Improved Multi-root support

When you work with multi-root workspaces, the extension can manage the bookmarks individually for each folder.

Simply define saveBookmarksInProject as true on your User Settings or in the Workspace Settings, and when you run the Bookmarks: List from All Files command, you will be able to select from which folder the bookmarks will be shown.

Remote Development support

The extension now fully supports Remote Development scenarios.

It means that when you connect to a remote location, like a Docker Container, SSH or WSL, the extension will be available, ready to be used.

You don't need to install the extension on the remote anymore.

Better yet, if you use bookmarks.saveBookmarksInProject setting defined as true, the bookmarks saved locally will be available remotely, and you will be able to navigate and update the bookmarks. Just like it was a resource from folder you opened remotely.

Selection

You can use Bookmarks to easily select lines or text blocks. Simply toggle bookmarks in any position of interest and use some of the Selection commands available.

Select Lines

Select all bookmarked lines. Specially useful while working with log files.

Expand Selection to the Next/Previous Bookmark or Shrink the Selection

Manipulate the selection of lines between bookmarks, up and down.

Available Settings

Allow navigation through all files that contains bookmarks (true by default)

    "bookmarks.navigateThroughAllFiles": false

Allow navigation to wrap around at the first and last bookmarks in scope (current file or all files) (true by default)

    "bookmarks.wrapNavigation": true

Bookmarks are always saved between sessions, and you can decide if it should be saved in the Project, so you can add it to your Git/SVN repo and have it in all your machines (false by default)

    "bookmarks.saveBookmarksInProject": true

Path to another image to be shown as Bookmark (16x16 px)

    "bookmarks.gutterIconPath": "c:\\temp\\othericon.png"

Deprecated in 13.3: Use bookmarks.gutterIconFillColor and bookmarks.gutterIconBorderColor instead

Specifies the fill color of the bookmark icon

    "bookmarks.gutterIconFillColor"

Specifies the border color of the bookmark icon

    "bookmarks.gutterIconBorderColor"

Choose the background color to use on a bookmarked line

    "bookmarks.backgroundLineColor"

Deprecated in 10.7: Use workbench.colorCustomizations instead. More info in Available Colors

Allow bookmarks commands, (Toggle, Jump to Next/Previous), to be displayed on the editor contex menu (true by default)

    "bookmarks.showCommandsInContextMenu": true

Experimental. Enables the new Sticky engine with support for Formatters, improved source change detections and undo operations (true by default)

    "bookmarks.experimental.enableNewStickyEngine": false

"Specifies whether bookmarks on deleted line should be kept on file, moving it down to the next line, instead of deleting it with the line where it was toggled." (false by default)

    "bookmarks.keepBookmarksOnLineDelete": true

Limitation: It does not support Undo operations. It means that, once you delete a line and the bookmark is moved to the next available line, the Undo operation won't move the bookmark back to the previous line. The next line is now the new location of the bookmark.

Use a workaround for formatters, like Prettier, which does not notify on document changes and messes Bookmark's Sticky behavior (false by default)

    "bookmarks.useWorkaroundForFormatters": true

This workaround can be turned off if you are using the new Sticky Engine (setting above)

Choose if the Side Bar should start expanded (false by default)

    "bookmarks.sideBar.expanded": true

Choose how multi cursor handles already bookmarked lines (allLinesAtOnce by default)
- allLinesAtOnce: Creates bookmarks in all selected lines at once, if at least one of the lines don't have a bookmark
- eachLineIndependently: Literally toggles a bookmark in each line, instead of making all lines equal

    "bookmarks.multicursor.toggleMode": "eachLineIndependently"

Choose how labels are suggested when creating bookmarks (dontUse by default)
- dontUse: Don't use the selection (original behavior)
- useWhenSelected: Use the selected text (if available) directly, no confirmation required
- suggestWhenSelected: Suggests the selected text (if available). You still need to confirm.
- suggestWhenSelectedOrLineWhenNoSelected: Suggests the selected text (if available) or the entire line (when has no selection). You still need to confirm

    "bookmarks.label.suggestion": "useWhenSelected"

Available Colors

Choose the background color to use on a bookmarked line

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
      "bookmarks.lineBackground": "#157EFB22"  
    }

Choose the border color to use on a bookmarked line

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
      "bookmarks.lineBorder": "#FF0000"  
    }

Choose marker color to use in the overview ruler

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
      "bookmarks.overviewRuler": "#157EFB88"  
    }

Side Bar

The Bookmarks extension has its own Side Bar, with a variety of commands to improve you productivity.

Single Folder	Multi-root Workspace

Project and Session Based

The bookmarks are saved per session for the project that you are using. You don't have to worry about closing files in Working Files. When you reopen the file, the bookmarks are restored.

It also works even if you only preview a file (simple click in TreeView). You can put bookmarks in any file and when you preview it again, the bookmarks will be there.
