QuickMarks

QuickMarks #

Ten numbered bookmarks for places in your project. Park one on the network you keep coming back to and you are one keystroke away from it, from anywhere. It is based on QuickMarks by Alex Guevara.

• Save a mark: Ctrl+Alt+{number} (Ctrl+Option+{number} on macOS)
• Recall it: Ctrl+{number}
• Remove it: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+{number} (Option instead of Alt on macOS)

{number} is 0 through 9, so there are ten slots.

The overlay starts off. QuickMarks itself is on, so the keys work from the start, but nothing is drawn on the network editor until you switch on Mark List or Pins, or press Alt+Shift+M for both. The shortcuts overlap keys a lot of people already use; switch Active off if they get in your way.

The marks are stored on the component itself, which means they are saved in your project file and are waiting for you the next time you open it. They are per-project by design: a mark points at a network path, and the same path means something different in a different .toe. Turning Active off later hides the shortcuts and keeps the marks; nothing is thrown away.

On the network editor #

Switch it on and your marks show on the network editor itself.

• The mark list sits in a corner: each mark by number and name, with the one for the network you are in highlighted. Click a row to jump to that mark, the same as Ctrl+{number}, and right-click it to rename the mark. A mark whose network no longer exists reads missing and is dimmed. The arrow at the right of the title row folds the list to that row (Mark List Collapsed does the same). Mark List switches it on or off, List Corner picks the corner (top left unless you change it), List Margin sets how far it sits from the edges, in screen points, and List Order its place among other tools' lists in that corner. With Cook Bar's Top List in the same corner, the mark list sits under it unless you change the order. The Overlay tab of FNS_Hub sets these too.
• Outlines show what each mark saved: the area that was on screen when you stored it, with its number and name in the corner, in the network you are viewing. Pins switches them on or off. Marks stored before outlines existed use the size of your network editor.

To hide both at once, press Alt+Shift+M (Option+Shift+M on macOS) or run Toggle QuickMarks overlay from quick-launch; do it again to bring them back. Your marks and Ctrl+{number} keep working while they are hidden. The hotkey is the Overlay Hotkey parameter; change it there or in the Hotkey Manager.
