Code Editor: Code Markers

Keystroke = CTRL + SHIFT + NUMBER = sets a bookmark
            CTRL + NUMBER         = jumps to a bookmark

These keystrokes allow you to set and jump to markers in your code. If you press CTRL + SHIFT + a number, the code editor will set a bookmark for you at the current cursor location. When you set a bookmark, the code editor displays a little green icon along the left hand gutter. You can then navigate to that book mark by pressing CTRL + the number key. Figure 1 shows what the bookmarks look like.

You can set up to 10 different bookmarks (one for each number key). Keep in mind that you can only use the number keys from the main keyboard. You can't use the keys from the keypad.
