The easiest way to use bookmarks in a large Geany project,  is to simply double click on some string of interest, right click on screen and click on Find Usage option.
The message window will list whever the string was found in all open files.
Click on any message to set focus directly on corresponding file and line number.
You can put your custom bookmarks as often and anywhere you like.
Or even better,  just use preexisting variable,  function names, code,  whatever...
If you are using python,  you can also customize pylint to do similar.
Pylint by default finds all #TODO and #FIXME comments

I've got a lot of files open (at least 2 dozen), and the tabs aren't always near each other. I could drag the tabs around, but that gets messy (and I have to keep clicking the arrows to side-scroll the tabs around to find what I want).

Yes, this is what I've been doing, and it works ok if there's only two files you want to see.

I currently have a whole bunch of files open, but am primarily working on 4 files --- 2 in one project, and 2 that look very similar in a different project. The four tabs are not anywhere near each other, and selecting and dragging the tabs to be near each other is a pain, because the GUI doesn't let the tab move beyond the end of the window, so I have to drag, drop it, click the arrow a bunch of times to move the tabs one more chunk over to one side, then go find the one I want again and drag it again, and continue until it's where I want.

It would be very useful if I could git Ctrl-. and just cycle through each of the 4 files.

The closest thing I can think of is the Documents tab in the left pane (sidebar). Clicking will take you to the file but it won?t change the order of the tabs I the file pane.

?mne: [Geany-Users] Is there a feature like bookmarks, but for hopping between files?

I'd like to be able to quickly move back and forth between two files.

I tried using bookmarks, but they only work for within one file.

Is there a feature or plug-in that's like bookmarks, but for files instead of locations within one file?

Thanks,
-- John
