Just trying to understand, but the description above doesn't match what 
I had in mind, or what I thought  Graeme wanted?

- jumping around using ctrl-1, ctrl-2,... as much forward and backward 
as you want, will not delete any bookmark ever
- pressing ctr1 and ctrl-1 again (as in jumping too) while already being 
at the line, will never remove a bookmark neither.


But: pressing shift-ctrl-1  (set the bookmar to the current line) will 
remove it, *if* it is already set.

if you accidentally press shift-ctrl-x combinations you will also loose 
bookmarks, by:
- setting them to a new location
- setting bookmark 2, where you previously had BM 1, consequently 
removing BM-1 (yes you still have a BM, but a diff one)

Now yes, toggling adds a (IMHO) tiny amount ot the (IMHO) quite small 
change of accidentally deleting a BM.


As I said , I didn't follow your description above, but if you re-think 
it, or meant the shift-ctrl as in my description, then let me know.

There still is BM access via the menus where a feature could be added.  
Or instead of toggling a dedicated "delete BM from current line" key 
could be added?

Best Regards
Martin
