Bookmarks
We discussed in the past how InnerLoop can navigate code by going to definitions and references for symbols. During this navigation InnerLoop keeps a stack of bookmarks and you can pop back out of the bookmark stack using ctrl-, There are also green arrow buttons on the toolbar at the top of InnerLoop to navigate up and down this stack of bookmarks. This makes it very easy to move around the code.
There are actually 2 kinds of bookmarks in InnerLoop. The 2nd kind is the ability to place a bookmark manually and return to it at any time. This is handy when there is a place you know you will need to keep referring back to and it's not easy to remember where it is.
To access this type of bookmark use the Search -> Bookmark menu item. Type in a bookmark name and hit Add to add this bookmark. You will see a little green arrow in source code indicating a bookmark.
To get back to a saved bookmark use Search -> Bookmark again and select the bookmark you want to return to and hit the Go To button and you are there. You can also use the Replace button to move bookmarks to a new location in the code.
These bookmarks are yet another way to provide easy and time saving navigation in the code. Give it a try.
