Using bookmarks

Now that we have our bookmarks we will see how to get to the files associated with the bookmarks.

  1. Close all of the files in the editor area.

  2. In the Bookmarks view, double-click on the first bookmark we created (My Bookmark).

  3. Notice that a file editor opens displaying the file with which the bookmark is associated and that the line associated with the bookmark is highlighted.

The Bookmarks view supports two additional ways to open the file associated with a selected bookmark:

  1. From the bookmark's context menu choose Go to File 
  2. From the view's toolbar click on the Go to File toolbar button Bookmark goto button

The Bookmark's view allows you to select the associated file in the Navigator.  

  1. In the Bookmarks view, select My Bookmark.
  2. From the bookmark's context menu choose Show In Navigator.

  3. Notice that the Navigator view is now visible and the file JanesFile.txt is automatically selected for us. JanesFile.txt is the file My Bookmark was associated with.
