I would reverse them, using ctrl-alt-number to set the mark (since that will be done less often and also the extra effort will aid memory). So far I haven't been able to think of something better, and I am inclined to say 10 marks is plenty. Here is the only alternative I have thought of. It allows more marks. Let ctrl-m bring up a dialogue. The drop down list has a list of existing marks. Any string can be entered as a mark. <enter> means "jump to". Tab takes you to a "set" button. This alternative is slightly slower, but it allows more marks, plus the marks can be as mnemonic as desired. Of course having both available is also possible. I am just musing here, not attempting persuasion. fwiw, Alan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
