Add bookmarking to JSL script editor

Someone already requested a better search and replace function in the JSL editor. I agree with that because the existing one seems confusing to me. But what I would really like to see are bookmark capabilities in the JSL editor, with control via key strokes. Ex: ctrl+F2 toggles the bookmark on / off. F2 moves to next bookmark. Shift F2 moves to previous bookmark.

 

Related: There's an F3 function where if you have text highlighted it will skip to the next time that string is encountered, but it would be nice to have a shift-F3 that goes in the opposite direction (up).  Never mind this last part... I didn't realize ctrl+shift+F3 goes to previous.

 

Thanks,
Mike

@Ryan_Gilmore .

sounds amazingly useful!

e.g.

at line 1023453 of my code,  I need to use a variable which was already used @ the beginning of the code in another context - so I go there and...
argh! ... how do I come back to the place where I worked before?

Bookmarks!
like in Notepad++

perfect: if the bookmarks are persistent (after closing and opening the file)
OK: if they are not presistent.

related wish: JSL Editor "Go To" functionality 
right click: go to the definition of a function or variable
