Bookmarking Views

Views (window, cell) can be bookmarked for later retrieval. Choose "Bookmark This View" from the "Bookmarks" menu. A name is required to be entered for the bookmark. The bookmark will then appear in the "Goto Bookmarks" list.

The list of bookmarks defined can be loaded or saved by using the "Load Bookmarks" and "Save Bookmarks" functions from the "Bookmarks" menu.

The bookmark list is available as a dockable tool window as well: check the "View/Bookmark List" option to enable this dock window. The bookmark list by default is shown at the bottom right side of the layout view.

Dockable Bookmark List

To navigate to a bookmark from the dockable bookmark list, double-click the entry. From the context menu (right mouse click) you can select these functions:

• Follow Selection: if this option is checked, the selected bookmark will immediately change the view accordingly. With this option, you can browse the bookmark list with the arrow keys while the view updates automatically.
• Manage bookmarks: opens the bookmark management dialog (same as from the "Bookmarks" menu).
• Load bookmarks and Save bookmarks: loads or saves the bookmarks to a file (same function as from the "Bookmarks" menu).
