The bookmarks options in Notepad++(I'm using version 6.0) are okay, but their usefulness is limited by the fact that there is no way (that I can find) of getting a list of the existing bookmarks, so that I can jump to the one that I actually want.
This is an important feature to be missing, a fact that I personally find rather odd! I looked through the installed plug-ins, but don't see anything related to enhanced bookmarks. Is there any way to get this capability in Notepad++?

So, is there any possibility of getting this issue fixed? – Daniel Miller – 2012-04-12T17:07:13.047
Yes people have been looking for it. See this http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/forums/forum/331753/topic/3464977
– Stat-R – 2012-04-12T17:58:54.7671Well, actually, 331753 is not the same topic; that thread is discussing saving/restoring bookmarks, my thread (and the duplicate un-responded-to thread) are discussing having a list of existing bookmarks, so user can select which bookmark they want to jump to, instead of being limited to previous/next.
Anyway, I hope you are correct that people are looking into it; I used bookmarks extensively in my day-to-day work, and Notepad++ simply is not useable without them, no matter how much I otherwise like the program... – Daniel Miller – 2012-04-16T20:29:18.000
That's right, Daniel. After not getting any answers, I tried writing my own plugin, but didn't get far. The Notepad++ source code header file Notepad_plus.h has a function bool bookmarkPresent(int lineno) which uses *ScintillaEditView _pEditView which I couldn't find a way to access from my plugin. – Gnubie – 2012-04-17T11:41:23.540
