VScode Bookmarks in Minimap

[Brahmdevsingh]

Dear Visual Studio Code Team,

I hope this post finds you well. I am a regular user of Visual Studio Code, and I am writing to request a new feature that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience.

As you know, when writing lengthy code in Visual Studio Code, it is sometimes necessary to scroll up and down to make changes in different sections of the code. This process can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with large files with many lines of code.

Therefore, I would like to suggest adding a new feature to Visual Studio Code that would allow users to pin a specific area of their code in the minimap. By doing so, users could quickly navigate to that particular section of code without having to scroll manually.

The proposed feature would be simple to use. Users would be able to click on the pinned section of the minimap, and they would be taken directly to that section of code in the editor. This feature would save users time and effort, as they would not have to spend time searching for the section of code they need to edit.

I believe this feature would be a valuable addition to Visual Studio Code and would benefit many users. I hope you will consider my request and add this feature in a future update of the application.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Brahm Dev Singh

There is a great extension named Bookmarks by Alessandro Fragnani which lets you bookmark locations in your source code. I would be lost without it.

Some Vim extensions add bookmark functionality with ( ma ).

I'd suggest you change the name of the title to reflect the feature you are trying to request, which if I'm interpreting correctly is: VScode Bookmarks in Minimap.

Possible related feature: #82808
From Plugin issue: alefragnani/vscode-bookmarks#584

I agree, it would be really nice if VS Code had native functionality similar to that provided by the Bookmarks and Numbered Bookmarks extensions, and the minimap would be the perfect way to navigate between them visually. It would also be nice if you could give them names, and navigate between them by name using the keyboard--something that neither of the above extensions seem to support.
