Managing Bookmarks

  • F3 adds an anonymous bookmark at the current line, and will remove any existing bookmark.
  • Opt+F3 opens mnemonic bookmark input, which allows you to create a bookmark associated with a letter or number (A-Z, 0-9).
  • Cmd+F3 will display all bookmarks in a project.
    • If you don't track your .idea directory in git, your bookmarks exist across branches. This may lead to unexpected behavior.
    • You can reorder bookmarks in this window, too.
