The MarkerSets plugin is a replacement for the built-in Markers feature of jEdit. Markers saved with MarkerSets properly update when lines are added or removed from a buffer. Furthermore, you can see markers from multiple files in the Marker Sets dockable. We recommend you use that instead of the built-in Markers.
A marker is a pointer to a specific
location within a buffer, which may or may not have a single-character
shortcut associated with it. Markers are
persistent; they are saved to
., where
filename.marksfilename
> (shortcut: C+e C+m) adds a marker without a shortcut pointing to the current line. If a marker is already set on the current line, the marker is removed instead. If text is selected, markers are added to the first and last line of each selection.
Markers are listed in the menu; selecting a marker from this menu will move the caret to its location.
> (shortcut: C+e C+COMMA) goes to the marker immediately before the caret position.
> (shortcut: C+e C+PERIOD) goes to the marker immediately after the caret position.
> removes all markers set in the current buffer.
Markers with shortcuts allow for quicker keyboard-based navigation. The following commands all prompt for a single-character shortcut when invoked. Pressing ESCAPE instead of specifying a shortcut will cancel the operation.
> (shortcut: C+t
key) adds a marker with the
specified shortcut. If marker with that shortcut already exists, it will
remain in the buffer but lose its shortcut.
> (shortcut: C+y
key) moves the caret to the location
of the marker with the specified shortcut.
> (shortcut: C+u
key) creates a selection from the
caret location to the marker with the specified shortcut.
> (shortcut: C+k
key) moves the caret to the location
of the marker with the specified shortcut, and moves the marker to the
former caret position. Invoke this command multiple times to flip
between two locations in the buffer.
Lines which contain markers are indicated in the gutter with a highlight. Moving the mouse over the highlight displays a tool tip showing the marker's shortcut, if it has one. See Section 4.1, “Interface Overview” for information about the gutter.
