Can't find a reference in the manual on how to add a bookmark.

Thanks,
Kevin

    Ctrl+Shift+B opens the Bookmark Gutter on the left, and then a mouse click to to select the line #.

    (Version 1.2.7)

    PS It's in the built in help file in the Propeller Tool

    ctrl+B to add or remove a bookmark.


    I use this regularly when I am scrolling around in the code comparing a couple areas or working on setting up I/O and need to grab the definitions from the CON or VAR section.

    'Didn't even know bookmarks existed until now. They're probably not something I would ever use.

    They aren't really that useful. I wish the prop tool had the split screen feature like the Basic editor.

    You can split screen 2 files, but not the same file.

    People should be able to use any editor they like ... I do, but the Parallax font often gets in the way.

    I never used bookmarks.

    I didn't know about them either (and am not terribly excited to learn about them [noparse]:)[/noparse].

    What I do is place comments on all my "PUB", "PRI", "CON", "DAT" lines and use "Summary" view to jump around.
    I also subdivide CON and DAT sections to make this work better.

    On the split screen -

    You can horizontally split the main screen and it is the same file. You can also drag a tab out from the main window to make a new window, but it will have to be a different file than the main window.

    How do you do this exactly and in what version?
    Maybe I've just been a casual observer in this regard.
    When I use Propeller Tool it's version 1.2.6.

    Jazzed -

    Thanks for asking. Now that I am looking at it I see my memory was wrong. You can split the screen horizontally or have two windows, but it will be a different file - not the same file. I was thinking the split screen was the same file, but it must be another software I was thinking of.

    To split the screen with different files you have to do the following. In the Prop Tool have two files open. Grab the tab of one of the files and drag it away from the Prop Tool to create a second window. Or drag the file down the Prop Tool screen to create a horizontal split.

    Now - if there was only a way to rearrange the tabs like one can in a browser such as Chrome or IE.

    You can sort of, but it's not a smooth operation like in a browser. Grab a tab (click, hold, and drag) to split or float the window and let go. Then grab that new tab or window and let go where you want it to sit.

    Cheers,
