Undo book mark changes

[alankilborn]

Undo is really only for changes affecting textual content of your document. As bookmarking only affect the margin, it isn't eligible to be part of undo.

@dogslife What do you mean by "search DD menu"? Also which of the two you mean by "previously book marked lines"=$? Because if you want $ bookmarked back: I have two ideas: if you need to bookmark certain lines you can precisely describe with a regex, and it sounds like comments could be and console.log too (I don't know js, I'm guessing), that regex won't be hard and you can ask someone for it, and I imagine it would work always in any file (it would have to be precise and well done of course). The other is: What if you after deleting the bookmarked lines, invert all bookmarks so all are selected, do ctrl+z and then invert again, that will bookmark $. But if you meant you wanted your first bookmarks, then why don't you just instead open a new document, paste all the same text, and do the operations starting with "I clear bookmarks" there? Then at the end you throw that away, and the original file hasn't been touched, still has all the bookmarks. On the other hand, I agree that the feature to add sounds incompatible with some of the mechanics of npp.

@dogslife The PythonScript plugin might be able to help to reduce the effort of you current actions.

The list of saved bookmarks are inserted into a dictionary with filename as the key to access. So, New 1 is a backup filename and C:\index.js would be an actual filename. This allows saving of bookmarks for each buffer by it's associated filename.

Only // javascript line comments are recognized, not multiline /* */ comments.

Directions:

1. Run script to save bookmarks and optionally choose to add bookmarks for javascript comments...
2. If new added bookmarks are OK, use Menu: Search -> Bookmark -> Remove bookmark lines to remove lines.
3. Test the document in browser and then manually save as cleaned document to pre prod folder.
4. Undo document back to the origin state of bookmarks which were saved.
5. Run script to restore bookmarks.

Test on a sample file first to ensure working to expectation!

# Save and restore bookmarks in Notepad++.
# After bookmarks saved, prompts to bookmark
# javascript '//' comments and console.log() lines.
