In Visual Studio is it possible to see what the name of a bookmark is within the code window? (eg hovering your mouse over it to the left of the code)

Question

In Visual Studio is it possible to see what the name of a bookmark is? Quite often I put in bookmark to remind me about a piece of code I need to get back to, then later when I do something else I come across the bookmark. (Which is often one amongst many) However if I hover the mouse over the bookmark it doesn't tell me which one it is. Can this be switched on?

Answer 1

It cannot be switched on, and left-clicking in the gutter is just going to toggle a breakpoint. The closest you can get without venturing into third-party add-ons is to keep the Visual Studio Bookmarks window pinned to your workspace--or within easy reach. To open that window, hit [Ctrl]-grave accent and it will highlight any bookmark you navigate to using [Ctrl]K, [Ctrl]N or [Ctrl]P (next/previous bookmark) or [Shift][Ctrl]K , [Shift][Ctrl]N or [Shift][Ctrl]P (next/previous bookmark in the current folder).
