I agree to some extend: BBEdits handling of both, bookmarks and jump marks 
would benefit from some overhaul. All that often I try to use jump marks but 
find it quite unpredictable. I'm never sure where the jump function will take 
me to.

Bookmarks are a little more useful. You know that you can assign keyboard 
shortcuts to the bookmark menu and its entries? See Preferences > Menus & 
Shortcuts > Navigation Bar. I have a shortcut for "Set Marker" and "Open Marker 
Menu". Once you open the Bookmarks menu typing the first characters of an entry 
will take you to it. Especially nice is the fact that you can bookmark 
selections (unfortunately BBEdit looses the correct start and end positions of 
selections once in a while for no apparent reason so I have to set them again).

With these settings I find the bookmark functions quite useful. But I would 
love to have the jump functions just a little more verbose.
