Visual Studio Tip of the day – Bookmarks


How often do you wish that you could put a mark at a particular location in your source code and then switch to that point with a simple click?



With Visual Studio, you can do that with the help of bookmarks.



A bookmark is a virtual placeholder which notes the position where you place one and you can quickly go to that position from anywhere in your source files by just a few keyboard clicks.



How to define a bookmark?



To create a bookmark, press Ctrl K + Ctrl K



This creates a book mark in the code. This is indicated by a blue button like indication on the left side of the line where you placed the bookmark.



Now to switch bookmark from any portion of your code, just press Ctrl K + Ctrl N



To go to previous bookmark, press Ctrl K + Ctrl P



To unmark a particular bookmark, navigate to that bookmark and press Ctrl K + Ctrl K (yes, this is the same combination you used to create a bookmark, what you are currently doing is toggling a bookmark)



To clear all your bookmarks, press Ctrl K + Ctrl L




If you have many files in your current folder and you want to navigate to the next bookmark in the folder, the shortcuts for next bookmark in folder is Ctrl Shift K + Ctrl Shift N and the previous bookmark in folder is Ctrl Shift K + Ctrl Shift P


All the above options are also available from the menu, Edit > Bookmark > ….


If you want to see all the bookmarks in one window, Go to View -> Bookmark Window (Ctrl K + Ctrl W). And click on the bookmark you want to go to.



Happy coding.

    They need to make a way to update the location that bookmarks are stored, because whenever I copy my project and take it home to work on, my bookmarks are all screwed up because I don’t have the same file paths at home that I have on my work PC. Really stupid and annoying that I can only use them on the computer they were created on.
