Bookmarks shortcuts dont work?

[Edwin Teisman]

The one feature in P/SQL Developer whcih simply never works is using shurtcuts to set a bookmark or to navigate to a bookmark.

Acording to the menu
- CTRL+K n should set a bookmark
- CTRL+Q n should navigate to a bookmark.
where n is a numeric key.

Most of the times these shurtcut do absolutely nothing. And if they ever work their behaviour is random, unpredictable, and usually one-time only.
Yes I could use the menu, but that s way to cumbersome, having to grab my mouse.

I cannot remember bookmrak shortcuts ever working, but I may be wrong.
Or am I doing something wrong here?

Now I keep insertintg "_bkm1" .. "_bkm9" in my code and using Find to navigate.

It works fine for me. Note however that you must release the Ctrl-key before pressing 0..9. If this does not explain the issue, can you let me know your PL/SQL Developer version?

Marco, thank you.

Using CTRL + K and CTRL + Q does work this way. I did not realize I needed to release the CTRL key.
This is kinda obvious and yet hard to figure out if you dont know the trick.

Well, now that I can use the bookmark working with the PL/SQL Developer will be much easier.

Thank you for the response.
