While you are working in a code editor, the Bookmarks window allows you to create links to specific lines of code within your document. You can display this window from the View menu.
To create and navigate through bookmarks, click the buttons located on the TextEditor toolbar and at the top of the Bookmarks window. You can add and remove bookmarks, activate or disable bookmarks, and organize bookmarks into folders. Certain commands are also available from the Bookmarks window shortcut menu. To add or remove a bookmark, place the insertion point on the desired line in the Editor, and then click Toggle a bookmark. To activate a bookmark, select its check box in the Bookmarks window; to disable (but not remove) a bookmark, clear its check box.
