Hello guys and gals,
can anyone please explain to me what are marks in Eclipse?
I know I can set it, clear it, even swapt it but even after searching
eclipse.org and googling around the world for a couple of hours I haven't
figured out what on Earth are marks good for.
You can find them in Preferences/General/Keys (twice CTRL+SHIFT+L) under
category Text Editing: Clear Mark, Set Mark, Swap Mark.
The point is that I miss one FAR Manager built-in editor feature a lot -
marking positions in a text file with keyboard shortcuts CTRL+SHIFT+number
and jumping to that positions with RIGHT CTRL+number. I hope to find out
that marks are something of a similar kind.
If not can someone suggest a similar feature in Eclipse? I've tried
bookmarks but I haven't found a way to jump to a bookmark with a keyboard
shortcut.
I use Eclipse 3.1.1 and cvs snapshot of PHPEclipse 1.1.8 plug-in (and a
couple of others too but that shouldn't be important).
BTW: I DON'T mean "Toggle marks" for turning on/off the automatic marking
of all occurences of the variable/property/method under the caret within a
file.
Thanks a lot - both for answers and for eclipse development.

You can mark a location in the text. Together with the current caret
location this mark defines a region which can be used, e.g. to cut or
delete the text in that region. See emacs marks for details.
