Bookmarks not working in VS for Mac

Question

In Visual Studio for Mac (latest stable) I never see the bookmark feature not grayed out under the Search menu. How can I put bookmarks in code within this IDE to easily navigate to bookmarks? This has been grayed out for a very long time. I reported it from within the IDE and never heard anything after.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

About your issue, it has been reported here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/visual-studio-for-mac-new-editor-boomarks-not-work/975284.
You can also add your comments in there to track the process.

By the way, the tag(vs-general) is related to Visual Studio IDE, which is different from Visual Studio for MAC. You will get a better support in the Visual Studio for MAC of Developer Community. Thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Anna

Hey Anna,

I have been so frustrated by this! I tried to find extensions, plugins, you name it... nothing! So, I came up with a way that is working amazingly for me! When I need to bookmark a piece of code, I simply put a comment there "//Bookmark 1", or "//Bookmark 2", or could even be something like "//Bookmark Start of Code I am Working On", etc.. Then when I need to get back there, I just enter shift-command-f and type "Bookmark", and there they all are! Simple, and works well with the find all feature! I hope this helps!
