That line (in the new suggestions section of edita.htm) was written a
long time ago, before I ever heard you were working on this. Yes, it
refers to the same concept as mash.ex but you are probably safe to
assume I won't get round to doing anything this side of Christmas.

Can't say I do.
Ctrl y is reserved for redo in Edita, btw.

I could easily toggle(/create) bookmarks, using say F2, and put some
kind of on-screen marker. I could make Shift/Ctrl F2 (say) jump to
next/prev bookmark. I could also add a radio to the Ctrl-Q jump, next
to the All/Global/Sections for bookmarks.
