Hi, I use bookmarks pretty often. The jump to bookmark by number feature is one thing I feel I almost couldn't do without. It makes it really quick to go to different parts of a page. So, I hit ins1 to go to the first mark, get the info I need, then jump back to ins5 the fifth bookmark in like a split second. So pretty please with sugar on top keep that functionality. The rest sounds fine to me. Thanks Storm On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 05:48:50PM -0300, José Vilmar Estácio de Souza wrote:
Hi Joanie. to be honest, I never used the bookmark function. However, the suggestions you're proposing seem very reasonable. On 06/11/2015 05:37 PM, Joanmarie Diggs wrote:Hey all. Looking more at the bookmark code, I've got the following ideas and would love your feedback to see if you agree or if I should just leave well enough alone. <smiles> 1. I think a list-of-bookmarks dialog would be helpful, just like we have for structural navigation objects. 2. I think the next and previous bookmark commands are useful, and are also like structural navigation objects. 3. I question the value of having all these keybindings for numbered bookmarks. (i.e. there are 6 separate bindings for adding bookmarks, there are another 6 separate bindings for then going to a numbered bookmark.) Are these really needed, or would it be sufficient to have next, previous, and a list-of? Furthermore, if we get away from these numbered bookmarks, you could add however many you wanted and then use the list-of dialog to get at them if next/previous was too far away. 4. I would like to remove the "where am I" bookmark functionality. To begin with, it's unbound and broken. Secondly, it appears that when working the functionality would be something like this: You press one of the numbered bookmarks. Let's say bookmark 5. Then Orca would tell you if the current object you're on is: a) the same as bookmark 5 b) has the same parent as bookmark 5, c) shares some common ancestor with bookmark 5, or d) can't figure it out. I cannot imagine how knowing this information would be of any use. And since it's been broken for a while, and is also unbound, I'm guessing you all haven't found a use for it either. I have other ideas and questions, and I'm sure you do as well. But let's start with the above.
