Named Bookmarks

Custom Visual Studio 2012 command to create automatically named bookmarks.

Use it from the Visual Studio 2012 Tools menu.
Alternately, you can set a keyboard shortcut to call it (not yet working when called from shortcut).

Use at your own risk!


To use from a keyboard shortcut (warning! command not yet working in that case):

  • Open the Options Dialog Box.
  • Select the Environment/Keyboard page
  • In the "Show commands containing:" box, search for the Tools.NamedBookmarks command
  • In the "Press shortcut keys:" box, type the shortcut you like (you can use CTRL+K, CTRL+K to replace the default bookmark shortcut).
  • Be careful to select Text Editor in the "Use new shortcut in:" field.
  • Press OK

Notes:

  • I didn't implement the bookmark deletion feature, that usually happens when calling the defaultToggleBookmark command on an already bookmarked line.
  • I had to use a lot of SendKeys.Send() commands, as a result the add-in might have some strange behavior if not used in the Text Editor
  • Installer available on /vsgallery/d082caf9-6df1-4dc7-b239-bf7f01981361
