Spyder: Bookmarks for Spyder Editor
_From [email protected] on 2012-01-15T11:12:30Z_
Hallo,
The spyder editor should support bookmarks like the VIM-editor or the editor in MATLAB.
Both bookmark-systems differ in the way you set and access the bookmarks and have their own charm.
MALAB:
In Matlab all bookmarks were set with the same bookmark-keyboard-shortcut (Ctrl-F2). This bookmarks can then be cycled trough by pressing a different shortcut like F2.
A short description (including pictures) about the behaviour of the bookmark-system can be found here http://blogs.mathworks.com/desktop/2007/06/15/scroll-less-with-editor-bookmarks/ This variant is better if you have only two or three bookmarks because you do not have to worry about remembering the specific shortcuts for different locations.
VIM
In VIM it is possible to set several bookmarks which can be accessed (moved to) separately.
See http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/02/how-to-add-bookmarks-inside-vi-and-vim-editor/ Especially if you use bookmarks a lot it is better to have specific jump-locations so you do not have to cycle trough all of them.
Thanks in advance,
HoWil

I have much experience with the Vim method and the method in Delphi (objectpascal) IDE.
In Vim the keystroke to set a bookmark (or "mark") is
For spyder, I would much prefer the Delphi method: to set a bookmark, the keystrokes are
So you have 10 slots in which to store a bookmark. Then, to jump back to such a numbered bookmark, say, number 3, the keystrokes are:
In Delphi, a little icon with the number of the bookmark is drawn into the gutter of the editor.
I am happy to help out with implementing this feature, unless anyone else has already started?

An easy way to implement this would be to replicate most of the functionality that already exists for breakpoints, namely:
1) Setting or clearing bookmarks by double-clicking on the margin of the editor (Ctrl-double-click or something else to differentiate from breakpoints)
2) Have a window that shows the bookmarks. Double-clicking on an item takes you to the bookmark.
All one would have to add would be a key combination that would jump to the next bookmark.

No matter how but I really think that is very important implement it, asap ...

@goanpeca, what do you think?

I do not see as so important to be honest, users could use the outline explorer and special comments to have quick access "bookmarks". Overloading functionality on the linenumber does not sound so good...
....
# --- Bookmark 1 This will appear in the outline explorer
....
# --- Bookmark 2 This will appear in the outline explorer
We could provide a "Special comments" view to create a better experience
@ccordoba12 , PR #2885 #2861 and #2184 are waiting :smiling_imp:

I see, but those are not the same thing ..., what you propose is to use
a workaround to solve this issue and I have proposed to implement one
way useful, easy and quick to get some places in our code ... just is it
... no matter how but when, because in my opinion this is very useful
... just compare this kind of command with some another IDE ... When you
use the best tool for your work, it ends better and faster than before ...

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/910#issuecomment-167715391.Have you ever tried it with a text file, for example? Just simple, it
doesn't work ... or then fix the code explorer, the question here is
what is better and simple to do ... Think about it ... But anyway,
thank for your precious tip ...

The fact that this feature is not in the Roadmap probably means that it is very low on the priority list and has little chance to be implemented? That's a pity.
If I should ever find myself having advanced a lot in Python/GUI programming - any hints of where to start on a feature like this? If I understand correctly, the two approaches mentioned here would either be using the breakpoint framework or that of the Outline Explorer / special comments. I guess the second approach would be easier to implement? Just finding the right regular expression, parsing the name/title of the 'bookmark' and adding it to the project outline in the appropriate location.

it is very low on the priority
Since this feature has not been requested by many users (yet), yes it is indeed not a very high priority, but with this growing interest I can assure you that this is definitely going to be included in Spyder 4.0 or in the Master Branch in a couple of months.
The thing is that we are decoupling several parts of the Spyder API and widgets to make them more extendable and that work is currently happening with the editor so we can better support code folding and now this feature.
Thanks for using Spyder and suggesting how to make it even better :-)

@ccordoba12 Is anyone working on this? I would like to have this feature very much in Spyder. I actually use break points as a way to put bookmarks since I don't use the debugger much...

Nop, there's none working on it. Would you like to give it a shot?
ccordoba12
on 23 Aug 2017
Yes, I will do it.
jnsebgosselin
on 23 Aug 2017
I think it is indispensable !
@jnsebgosselin how do you think about the Bookmarks ?
It can be enumerable (0 to 9) and swap between the opened files (like android studio) ?
This feature is helpful in android studio !

Did anything over come of this discussion? This is the only thing I miss about the Matlab and Visual Studio editors when I'm working in Spyder, and it would be fantastic to find a way to do this, even if there's some kind of hack that creates an experience _kind of_ like this.

Are Spyder Bookmarks still in preparation?
Any idea when we might see them?
This is really the only feature that I miss on Spyder .....

They'll be added in Spyder 5, to be released in a year or year and a half.
