Long time notepad++ user here recently migrating to eclipse for php dev.

In notepad++ I could simply type ctrl-f2 while in a code file to set a mark. Then using f2, I could quickly jump from mark to mark.

Does eclipse have such a feature or a plugin that enables this? I have googled but could not find any.

Yes, but you can only have one mark at a time. Go to the 'Keys'
preference page and set your desired key bindings to Set/Clear/Swap Mark.

Eclipse has the notion of Bookmarks. You can set them at any line of any
file and there's a Bookmarks view for navigating to them. Search your
Eclipse Help for "bookmarks" (without the quotes) to read all the details.
