How to navigate to a bookmark in eclipse 3.4.1?

Question

I am able to set bookmarks in a source file, but are there shortcut keys to navigate to a bookmark ? The navigate menu has a goto line. But that is not useful.

If you check the "Bookmark" item in the "Next Annotation"/"Previous Annotation" toolbar dropdown item, you can use Ctrl+, and Ctrl+. to navigate to previous/next bookmark in the current opened file.

This answer works well, but I misinterpreted it at first. I wrongly thought that it meant to press Ctrl and then the plus sign. I thought the comma and the full stop (or period for our US friends) were there for punctuation! Of course, pressing Ctrl then comma or the full stop makes perfect sense, because it allows you to navigate up and down a file in an entirely familiar way. As you would normally do for warnings and errors. – DAB Feb 20 '23 at 11:11

There is not a shortcut key but you can make appear a 'Bookmark view' which is located in Window > Show view > Other... and in the dialog inside the General classification, Then just double-click on the desired bookmark to reach it

Cool. At least I can still go to the bookmark view via CTRL+SHIFT+F7 – ashitaka Jun 04 '09 at 09:29

You can navigate to bookmarks using a plugin like:

I am using Quick Bookmarks Plugin which is very handy;

You can create named bookmarks using digits (e.g., 1 to 9):

Example:

Set bookmark #4 with [Alt+4]

Go to bookmark #4 with [Alt+Shift+4]

and so on.

The link to Quick Bookmarks is now dead - anybody know of an update? – Anonymouse May 11 '23 at 08:43

In my Eclipse, Ctrl+F2 does nothing, Shift+F2 does something completely different (related to Javadoc, see [here](http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseShortcuts/article.html)). – texnic Jul 22 '14 at 21:43
