You can also add a bookmark by double clicking on the line number at the left side of the editor window.

I finally started adding bookmarks in Eclipse, but I couldn’t find where to look them up again. This post was very helpful (even years later :), thanks!

Bookmarks are greyed out in Eclipse 3.4.1 in my context menu. So tried this plugin, then lost bookmarks in context menu entirely.

Some strangeness here that I don’t understand, so reverted back.

Navigation (breadcrumbs) is done nicely in Code::Blocks (c IDE). Maybe this might serve as good example for Eclipse to follow.

Good tips. Thanks!

If you do as Hasan suggested, you can also move among bookmarks (within the same file) via Ctrl-. and Ctrl-, which are the default keyboard shortcuts for Next and Previous, where the toolbar dropdowns define the types of entities that are eligible to be the Next and Previous targets.

#2 of the “nice if …” section can somewhat be addressed by the prev/next annotation tool-bar buttons. They can be specified to move through bookmarks within a file by clicking on the arrow on the right side of the next/prev buttons and selecting the ‘bookmark’ checkbox.

But, the plugin mentioned by Mort seems to address most of the other issues you mentioned, including this one.

If you still find it a bit awkward, there’s a nice plugin here:
