    I find it very inconvenient to press F2 several times in order to find the desired bookmark.
    Other editors have numbered bookmarks:
    Pressing Ctrl+Shift+[0..9] will create a bookmark
    pressing Ctrl+[0..9] will position the cursor to the corresponding [x,y] position.

    (Example: Ctrl+Shift+2  ..... Ctrl+2)

    Are there any plugins that have this functionality?
    Thanks.

      See the "Mark line" on the left of the dialog box. It is very useful.

      A bookmark window could be nice. However, if you use Find in files, or simply Find all in current document, you get a search result window which is very similar. The only limitation is that it won't report bookmarks you add on your own.

      But you may have many more bookmarks than 10, specially when using "Bookmark lines" from the search dialog box. Then, how would I know which bookmark is #26, and how would you Ctrl-Shift to it?

      Now, if you want to add to the current un-numbered bookmarks a limited set of numbered (or otherwise individualised) bookmarks, then a plugin could probably do it.

      What do you mean by 'when using "Bookmark lines" from the search dialog box. ' ?
      I can't see anything related to Bookmarks when I press Ctrl+F.

      I'll explain why I'd like to have Ctrl+Shift+[0..9]
      Assuming I have 5-6 bookmarks at the moment, but actively working with 3 of them.
      How can I quickly go to a specific bookmark without having to cycle through other ones?
      I should press F2 several times and check if I arrived at the correct bookmark.

      ... I've searched for a "Bookmark Dialog" window but didn't find any.

    I too agree, I used to develop using HTML Beauty since 2003, unfortunatelly it has deep UTF-8 issues, so I was looking for an alternative.

    You should implement this:
    - Ctrl+Shift+ = Sets bookmark (line AND COLUMN)
    - Ctrl+ = Jumps to bookmark

    This is extremelly useful.

    By the way in those 7 years of PHP developing I have never stumbled upon a situation where I was using more than 3 bookmars. This kind of bookmark is useful for code search, like when you need to reference a lot of form fields that are 200 lines above the part you're typing, so you put a bookmark in 2 places to toggle between them.

    There are a number of ideas/solutions on IdeaTorrent related to bookmarks - they are in a category of their own. You'll probably find a solution for which to vote, an idea to graft a new solution to, unless you think your idea is to stand by itself.

    As votes for a solution accumulate, they allow getting an idea of what to implement first.
