Hello Jim and others,
I apologize for the dumb question, but what is EdSharp? It sounds like an editor for programming, but I can not tell for sure. Also, where is it available? Thanks for answering the newbie question.
Best,
Dennis

Hi,
That would be a nice thing, and it would be nice to toggle it, but once you get in the habit of putting a bookmark into a file, it would be just like putting a piece of paper in a real book. No big deal.

Thanks.

Jim

 Thanks Jim for this, but I was looking at it remembering the caret
position without me necessarily creating the bookmark. Of course
bookmarks would be great if I needed to mark important passages, but
remembering caret position would certainly make life even more easier.
Thanks,

Ishe

Hi,
In EdSharp, Control+K creates a bookmark. When you press that key, it creates one. When you re-open the file, it goes to the bookmark. If you have more than one bookmark in a file and you open it, EdSharp presents the list of bookmarks. You can then pick one to go to. When you are in a file, you can press Alt+ K to get the list of bookmarks. If you have one bookmark, focus will jump to it. You can clear the current bookmark with Control+Shift+K.

When you create a bookmark, it also puts a file in your favorites list. You can access the favorites list with Alt + L. You can put a document in the favorites list with Control+L. You can clear the current document from the favorites list with Control+Shift+L.

The favorites list is compiler-specific. This means that when you switch to, for example, the Visual Basic.net compiler, you can have a different favorites list than for the default compiler. You also have a different recent files list.

You can use Alt+R to get a list of recent files to open. EdSharp remembers your 30 most recent files.

   Hi listers,

I just find EdSharp good in working with text files and source files for
most programming languages. But I now want to use it to read other stuff
which I might resume after some time. So does Edsharp have a setting
whereby one can have it remember the last place one was in prior to
closing it? For instance, after reading a book with sixty chapters, and
am tired on chapter 12, is there a way I can simply open the file and
automatically land on the spot I left off before my break?

What comes to mind is the way FSEdit does on Pac Mate or even programs
like EmEditor which I often use for this type of work. If there is such
a setting, how do I activate this feature? If not, can't this be added
in the next release of EdSharp?
Thanks Jamal for this great app and the work that went into its
development, Once I get this, I think I will switch full-time to it
being my default text editor.

Thanks,

Ishe
