Bookmarks in Visual Studio editor

I'm looking for a plugin/addin for Visual Studio in order to bookmark a line of code.

For example bookmark line xx in file yy with mark "(1)" with keyboard shortcut alt+1 and then just pressing ctrl+1 in order to move to the line (1).

Is there anything like this?

Thanks!

A better solution to standard bookmarks...

Go to Tools/Options/Environment/Task List and add a new tag to record them. I wanted to use the phrase MARK but this word is too common in my code, so I'm using BOOKMARK set as low priority.

Whenever I want to leave a bookmark I just type //BOOKMARK: this is a bookmark, and that's it, simple! To view them just open the Task List window and sort by priority or description and scroll down.

This is hugely better than standard bookmarks because they ...

  • are 'pinned' with the actual code and don't drift
  • can be shared with your own multiple environments and with other developers
  • are never lost if you suffer a problem with Visual Studio
  • are still searchable and readable in other editors eg notepad
  • you could create different tags to group different types of bookmarks together
