 I agree that this is a neat idea. I've had it before, too, although I was
thinking more of browser-like bookmarks than vi-like marks (i.e. I thought
to have a combobox containing all defined bookmarks somewhere, maybe above
or below the folder tree, instead of doing it from keyboard) but we can
surely combine the good aspects of both ideas.

 Could you please add this is as a wish to the bugtracker (maybe after
waiting some time to see if nobody else adds any good suggestions)?

 Thanks,
