Add possibility to add bookmarks in code editor

Hi,

I think it would be great if one could add bookmarks in the code editor. This could be used to mark places in the code where one needs to do some further changes, like TODO:s, or bookmark some other code that the user wants to find easily. Currently one needs to use a certain string like "TODO:" that one can find with the search. This works, but one must remember to type the exact string or it is not found.

Possibly this could be given a separate window like the breakpoints so that all bookmarks could be found easily.

What do you think?

It might help if the bookmarks were globally accessible and there was a command (keyboard shortcut) to jump to any of the bookmarks (open an editor if it is not open yet, switch focus to the open editor if it is).

It would be even better if there was a quick type-to-find-and-open mode, similar to Go To (Ctrl-,) in Visual Studio: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/11/16/introducing-go-to-the-successor-to-navigate-to/

Most modern editor and environments implement some kind of the Go To, where there is a single command to find anything, with interactive searchand auto-complete suggestions as you type. The feature was probably popularized by Goto Anything in Sublime Text, but today it is pretty standard everywhere. I really miss it in FlexSim.
