Text editor with bookmarking facility

Post by kedardamle » Wed Jul 09, 2008 5:24 am

I read a lot of text files from the Gutenberg project. I want to know if there is any reader out there which supports inserting bookmarks.

Anyone used Guten? Any review ?
Atleast as per linux.com, this was better of the lot.

I'm pretty sure Vim can save bookmarks between sessions.

Doesn't help much if you're not a Vim user already, unless you're willing to spend 30 minutes to learn the basics.

I'm sure there's a better solution, but I can't think of it right now. You could use ANY editor and save a tag in the file when you're done that you could search for later (like B!OO!K, etc). Even Windows Notepad would work for that. :)

There's a 30 minute guide, where?!

You should be able to just type vimtutor. There's a tutor you work through from within vim. Covers most of the basics.
