Hm, I have never used Bookmarks because the functionality was fuzzy to me. Did you know, Alt+PgUp/Down to jump to book marks? You can find these in ShortCut settings.

You can find these in > ShortCut settings. When you have a dozen or more bookmarks, you don't necessarily remember/care whether they are up or down. Being able to quickly see the entire list and select with the keyboard is crucial. I Agree. Last hint: You can reach the bookmarks by ToolBar. Settings->Show Toolbar. Customize the bar to include the book mark menu. Well, when you dislike the toolbar in general, like me, is that not a true substitute. Any idea what package I need to downgrade to get the menu back? Downgrading `kate` and `ktexteditor` don't seem to do the trick :( try to remove ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/katepart/katepart5ui.rc (In reply to Lothar from comment #5) > try to remove ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/katepart/katepart5ui.rc Thanks, that worked! With that taken care of, only ktexteditor needs to be downgraded it seems. (I wonder if there's a way to generate the katepart5ui.rc with the Bookmarks menu, to get it to stay in the newer version...) On top of this file is a version number, try to increase these e.g 98=>110 (so you have some updates left until it will replaced by a new one) But, how reliable that is...

Good to know. But how do I get Kate to generate the file to start with? :) Um...not again there? Perhaps after close? Well, can't say how this is done :-) I have removed my some weeks ago, and there is now a new one. FWIW I'm now building KTextEditor with this (for some reason the main menu ONLY shows the icon if it's set):

Another workaround: put Bookmarks on the toolbar (if you have one), and set the text to &Bookmarks. Then Alt+B works, even if the toolbar shows icons only. Another one is to edit the personal kxmlgui files, but that tends to get reset after updates. |
