Chapter 2: Learning Just Enough C# or VB.NET: Basic Syntax 45
One of the entries in Table 2-1, CTRL-W, B opens the Bookmarks window shown in
Figure 2-4, allowing you to manage bookmarks throughout your application.
The bookmark has a toolbar, which is the same toolbar that appears in VS when the
editor window is active. The actions on the toolbar include the items from Table 2-1, plus
the ability to move between folders.
Within the Bookmark list, you can check to make a bookmark active or inactive. When
the bookmark is inactive, previous and next navigation will not stop at the bookmark. You
can change the name of the bookmark by clicking the name twice. The File Location and
Line Number tell you where the bookmark is located.
Setting Editor Options
The editor is very configurable, and there are more options available than many people
realize. You can view available options by selecting Tools | Options to show the Options
window in Figure 2-5. As you can see from the figure, selecting Environment | Fonts And
Colors allows you to change the appearance of VS. Regarding our current discussion of
the editor, this is where you can customize the coloration of code elements that appear
in the editor.
TIP
If you want to share your custom editor settings, you can use the Import and Export
Settings Wizard that you learned about in Chapter 1. There is also an Import And
Export Settings branch right below Fonts And Colors in the Options window.
Most editor customizations are in a language-specific branch of the Options window.
Figure 2-6 shows the options available for C# programmers.
