Is there a way to mark specific lines in BBEdit and then iterate through them?

Question

I often find myself jumping between several parts of a lengthy document, and I've found no streamlined way of handling this. I've previously used TextPad for PC, and it had a great feature called Bookmarks:

  • Press a keystroke, and the current line is marked. The bookmark shows as an arrow in the gutter.
  • The same key toggles the marker off again.
  • Another keystroke sends the caret down to the next bookmark.
  • Yet another keystroke sends the caret up to the previous bookmark.

Is there anything like this in BBEdit? I loved that feature of Textpad, but I haven't found another editor that has something similar. Currently I use the awkward substitute of typing three slashes /// at a place I want to jump back to, then using Ctrl+F to re-find them, but that's a lot of keystrokes to set/remove markers and to iterate through them.

Thanks!

I think what you are after is BBEdit Markers.
