VB Editor

[Guest]

A few things I don't like about the visual basic editor (or at least I can't
figure out how to do):

1. There are no line numbers or easy ways to tell where you are
2. There is no quick key for book-marking and no quick key for going to
bookmarks
3. The Redo (Typically Ctrl-Y in other editors) doesn't go back very far at
all

Am I missing something or is that the way it is?

as far as i know :
1. You can findout Line or row and column where the pointer is
in the right side of VBE standard command bar.
2. bookmarking by right click in the editor the choose the action
3. that VBE Ctrl+Y is deleting downline from cursor pos.

The Line/Column thing was there all along. I never noticed it.

Regarding bookmarking this is a fairly fast way to set one, but what about
going to a bookmark. Is there a quick key to get to the next bookmark? The
Previous bookmark?

The
Previous bookmark?

Right click on the toolbar and select Customize from the menu that pops up.
Select the Commands tab on the dialog box that appears. Click on Edit in the
Categories list on the left. Scroll down to the entry in the Commands list
on the right that says "Next Bookmark". Click and drag that item to the
toolbar and drop it there (make sure the area you try to drop it in is
"active"... cursor will have a plus sign in it instead of an 'x' sign). You
can now use that toolbar button to move through your bookmarks. By the way,
while you still have the Customize dialog box open, you can put the rest of
the Bookmark buttons on the toolbar if you want.
