Add bookmark feature

[rovf]

It would be convenient to have the ability to set bookmarks in the code. Suggestion: In the "Navigation" menu, add a menu entry "set/remove bookmark" (which would toggle the bookmark setting for the current line). Also provide menu entries "go to next/previous bookmark".

Hey @rovf, we have this exact feature as an extension. You can find it by searching for 'Brackets Editor Bookmarks' in the extension store. Are you suggesting this as a built-in feature in Phoenix Code?

Ah, I found it. However, this is such a basic feature for any serious text editor, that I would have found it more natural to have it built-in. Of course it is a design decision - how slim you want the core of the editor to be. One risk with every extension is that if at one point o the development of the editor, the extension is becomes incompatible and can't be used anymore. That's why I feel that really important stuff should stick in the editor, and not in an extension.

Valid point! It indeed is a very basic feature for any editor. I'll create a feature request for this. We'll work on this!

Thanks for your suggestion! ^_^
