In the second patch i wrote this is implemented. But it is (whats
before pre-alpha?). You have a border and any mouseclick action
shows a menu to add a bookmark, clear all bookmarks or anything
else you want.
(I could send you the patch, if you like)

Very good idea!

The new way is a own left-border-class. You can easily improve
it. (is that static ??? don't know)

Could you paint one? I'm not very good in painting icons.

In my patch its a popup menu which appears everytime you click on
the border.

Its an object - should be possible.

Someone got the idea to store the bookmarks in the TextLine
object and not in an own object. Don't know what is easier to
handle (Searching for a bookmark could take longer ?)

Just my ideas.
