Hello,

when one types for example a string literal (") the editor inserts the following:

"^"|

where ^ is the cursor and | a code marker one can jump to after pressing enter or tabulator key.

Is this feature really called code markers, or does it have a different name? And where can I find its implementation, i.e. in which packages/classes?

Greetings,
Simon

It is called Linked Mode. Use this as an entry point:
