Bookmarking your code

[LucieLastic]

hi

Could someone tell me the keys for putting bookmarks in your code, then jumping to them - can't remember and can't find them in the Delphi books.

Ctrl-K then a digit to set a bookmark;
Ctrl-Q then a digit to jump to it.

Anybody out there in userland that doesn't use bookmarks: learn! Once your code is more than a couple of hundred lines, they are really darn useful for finding your way around your own code. Need to jump away somewhere, to look something up? Set a bookmark before you go; that way, you can jump right back.

- or -

Ctrl + Shift + Digit to set a book mark
Ctrl + Digit to jump to it

Also very usefull:

ctrl + e <then start typing the word you are looking for>

ctrl + r start/stop recording macro
crrl + p play back macro

rONIN441 I agree that bookmarks are very useful.

If there any way to save them for next time in the source file?

Nice, GuidoSan. Thanks.

Tim: I believe not. But if it's a line you'll be coming back to again and again, you can set some comment that will be easy to search for:

   a := b;  // ZZZ1

, and then next time you open the code you can search for ZZZ1. -- Doug Burbidge mailto:doug@ultrazone.com
