Description turejoe 2008-01-24 07:48:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

This is a request for the feature present in "joe". It allows you easy navigation through places in text which you actually use. To see how it works open a text file with "joe" (or create a new), navigate through the file, edit it at some places and then use ^K- and ^K= to position cursor to places where you actually did something (or just took a longer pause). As a longtime user of "joe", I find lack of this feature in "kate" as an inconvenience. If the feature exists and I couldn't find it, I apologize in advance.

In kate you can use bookmarks for mark particular lines.
The default shortucts are:
CTRL+B : add/remove bookmark on the current line
ALT+PgUP/ALT+PgDown : go to the prev/next bookmarked line

Re-Opening, the author didn't ask for manual bookmarking, but a history. This is different as for bookmarks you need to know in advance wether you want to go back to a place or not, while with history you don't.

This would be a nice little concept for a plugin ;)

Comment 4 Mildred Ki'Lya 2015-01-08 13:28:23 UTC

To me this seems a lot like the "Go Back/Forward" that exists in many IDEs. It lets you navigate in all your opened files like a browser history. Each time a jump of location is made (search result, ctags navigation, write some text, open a file, ...) the old location is stored in a history that could be browsed back/forward.

Example of this could be found in QtCreator (Alt-Left/Right) but exists in other IDEs as well.

This feature exists in kate (16.12.2) with the actions "Go to previous editing line" and "Go to next editing line".

I think so too, and allow myself to close this.

In newer versions there are buttons added to the "Goto Bar" Ctrl-G where you also can use the mouse wheel.
