While reading the GNU GCC Internals Manual online, I thought of a neat little
feature. Being quite a long manual, I needed to come back to it often after
shutting down my laptop.  The bookmarks are too permanent to use to keep track
of where I left off, and the history doesn't help because I browse ahead a lot.

What I think would be neat is something called a "placeholder". Not quite a
bookmark, which is pretty much permanent or modified via edit bookmarks. But
this could be a couple of icons on the toolbar or in a menu where it just keeps
track of where you left off.  Click one and it takes you back to where you left
off, click the other one and it saves you're current location. 

This would be like "quick save" in "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" and bookmarks
are the "save as". You can have several bookmarks but only one placeholder.  If
you are really innovative, you might come up with a way to have several
placeholders.

To really make this complete, have the placeholder save the scrolled info too.

What do you guys think?

Dupe to one of these if you agree.

recommand wontfix

all you need is to create a temporary folder in your personal bar
and drag the site icon in the location [address] bar to that
folder to make a bookmark.
please help kill the keyword "[RFE]"
