a better bookmark system for SublimeText
Let's face it: sublime text's bookmark system sucks. <rant> It doesn't support named bookmarks. It doesn't save bookmark statuses, and it is just terrible to use overall. </rant>.
This is a replacement for sublime text's bookmark functionality. It's slicker and easier to use, and has way more features.
Note: As of now, This is only for Sublime Text 3. False! It's been ported. Unfortunately, I havent' implement live preview and project based bookmark sorting. I'm not sure how to port these features over to Sublime Text 2. If someone knows, please do contact me!
- Named bookmarks
- Bookmarks are saved across sessions
- Goto any bookmark in the project
- Add any number of bookmarks (not just 12).
- Project based bookmarks (bookmarks are stored per-project and bookmarks can be navigated on a per-project basis) (Only for ST3)
With the Package Control plugin: The easiest way to install SublimeBookmarks is through Package Control, which can be found at this site: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
Once you install Package Control, restart Sublime Text and bring up the Command Palette (Command+Shift+P on OS X, Control+Shift+P on Linux/Windows). Select "Package Control: Install Package", wait while Package Control fetches the latest package list, then select SublimeBookmarks when the list appears. The advantage of using this method is that Package Control will automatically keep SublimeBookmarks up to date with the latest version.
Without Git: Download the latest source from GitHub <https://github.com/bollu/SublimeBookmark/tree/st3> and copy the whole directory into the Packages directory.
With Git: Clone the repository in your Sublime Text Packages directory, located somewhere in user's "Home" directory::
git clone -b st3 https://github.com/bollu/sublimeBookmark.git

To remove all bookmarks, select the option SublimeBookmarks:Remove All Bookmarks (Clear Bookmarks). This will clear all bookmarks. This can not be undone.
##Visibility Modes:##
SublimeBookmarks has 3 visibility modes associated with it:
###1) View all Bookmarks###
This mode shows all bookmarks that have been created - irrespective of project or file information.
To use this mode, Press ctrl + shift + P on Windows / Linux or cmd + shift + P on Mac and select SublimeBookmarks:Show All Bookmarks

###Some TODO Stuff:###
Port to Sublime Text 2(This is partially done. Unfortunately, I'm not able to implement live previews and project support. I don't really know how to port these to ST2. If someone does, please do contact me! )Add an option to only show bookmarks belonging to current project(Nope, it now fully supports project-based bookmark management!)
###To Help###
Just fork my repo and send a pull request. I'll gladly accept :)
I've spent quite some time writing this and making it bug-free. It would really help me if you'd chip in a little something :) I'm a student, so a little goes a long way.
