Active Bookmarks

Bookmarks allow you to save the current cursor location and quickly return to it later on. You may also give a name to a bookmark to make orientation easier.

Bookmarks are shown in the tool window called Bookmarks. If the Bookmarks window is closed you can open it using the menu View > Bookmarks.
