# Bookmarks Window

The Bookmarks window displays a list of the bookmarks in your files in your open projects. You can select a bookmark in the list to view the line containing the bookmark in the preview pane of the Bookmarks window. You can double-click a bookmark in the list to open the file in the editor at the line containing the bookmark.

The Bookmarks window can display the list of bookmarks in a hierarchical tree view grouped by project or in a table view. The table view contains columns for the location, a name and a shortcut key for the bookmark. You can edit the name and shortcut in the table view by double-clicking in the cell in the table. You use the toolbar in the left side of the Bookmark window to switch between the views.

You can right-click a bookmark in the hierarchical tree view to invoke a popup menu with the following commands.

--- | ---
Open | Opens the file containing the bookmark in the editor.
Rename | Opens a dialog box that enables you to specify a name for the bookmark.
