advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany#4594)

I made the following related post regarding the confusing terminology used in 
Geany regarding the terms
`Bookmark` / `Marker` and `Mark`
#1567

For this post I am going to use the terminology I suggested in that post
`Bookmark` = + plus icons in left side margin
`Mark` = highlights to specific text

I personally view "Bookmarks" and "Marks" as being completely different 
features.
-To me there are some keybindings that seem to be missing for each of these 
features.
-Also I noticed that there are two keybindings that combine these two features 
into one action which I will explain below.

Notes:
-First I will to mention the keybinding actions that combine Bookmark and Mark 
items
-Then to hopefully eliminate confusion I will separate into two lists of 
keybindings, Bookmarks and Marks
-The items that start with `*` will be keybindings that I am suggesting to be 
added because they do not exist
-The items that start with `-` are keybindings that already exist

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

KEYBINDINGS THAT CURRENTLY COMBINE BOOKMARK AND MARK ACTIONS
These two actions appear to not just remove ALL "Bookmarks", but also ALL 
"Marks" (keyword highlighted items) in the same action, which to me seems 
confusing.

`Remove Markers`
`Remove Markers and Error Indicators`

Because these actions already exist / may already be used by other users.
I am suggesting to rename them to to be more clearly labeled.
`Remove All Bookmarks and Marks`
`Remove All Bookmarks, Marks and Error Indicators`

User might not want to remove all of both indicators, therefore I have made 
suggestions to have separate keybindings below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOOKMARK KEYBINDINGS
(If my suggestion gets accepted then all these "Marker" items would be changed 
to "Bookmark")
-Toggle Marker
-Go To Next Marker
-Go To Previous Marker

*Remove All Bookmarks (does not exist, this would just remove ONLY Bookmarks)


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARK KEYBINDINGS
-Mark All

(I am aware that user can move caret to a blank line and hit "Mark All" 
keybinding but feels strange/not that intuitive)
*Remove All Marks (does not exist, this would just remove ONLY Marks)

Not sure if "Mark" items can actually function in this way but if they can 
would suggest the following
*Go to Next Mark
*Go to Previous Mark
