Qne IDE: Tip of the Day #3: Bookmarks

If you deal with complex software you may want to remember some interesting places in your code. 
You can do it with different ways, and one of them is to use bookmarks.
To bookmark a source location use context menu in the editor on the line you want the bookmark (click on the left border
 on the editor, where markers are usually displayed) and select "Add Bookmark...". To view bookmarks open Bookmarks view
 
Window > Show View > Other… -> General -> Bookmarks.

There are couple other ways to do similar thing: editor navigation, TODO comments in code and Mylin plugin context 
navigation.

RE: Qne IDE: Tip of the Day #3: Bookmarks

Is there a way to do this with key strokes?  Some combination of an F2 key
for example:  F2 - Next book mark, Shift-F2- Prev book mark,  Ctrl-F2 - Set
Bookmark at current cursor line, Shift-Ctrl-F2 remove bookmark at current
line?

Thanks
Kevin

Only two commands can be bound to shortcuts - Add Bookmark and Next Bookmark.
To add binding use Keys Preferences from Windows menu.
