Scite Numbered Bookmarks

wiki

It is an example of how to create custom bookmarks with characters with Scintilla, and how to manage objects on a per-file basis using OnOpen and OnSwitchFile.

This script uses the SciteExtMan loader for convenience, although I hope it should be clear how to do it using straight SciTE/Lua scripting.

-- borland.lua
-- Defines borland-style numbered bookmarks.
-- Put this in your extman scite_lua directory.
