           Summary: A "Go to Bookmark..." action similar to "Go to
                    Page..."
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hanswchen at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

This is similar to Bug 239037 but with a different solution that, in my
opinion, is easily discoverable and more user-friendly, especially for those
not used to Vim.

The suggestion is to add a "Go to Bookmark..." action that shows a dialog
similar to "Go to Page...". The dialog should show a list of the bookmarks and
allow the user to filter the list. When clicking on "OK", the document jumps to
the selected bookmark.

There are mainly two reasons why I want this instead of just using the sidebar:

1. I'm a heavy keyboard user and would like to have an easy way to jump to a
given bookmark. My sidebar is hidden most of the time, and although I can show
it with a keyboard shortcut, I don't know any easy way to navigate within it
using the keyboard. Furthermore, I would have to hide the sidebar after jumping
to the bookmark.

If this is implemented, the workflow would be as follows:
Hit shortcut -> start tying a part of the bookmark -> press Enter.

2. This would be a very nice feature for presentations (which is also why I
thought of this today). Here's an example:
Imagine if someone in the audience asks to see Figure 15 from your paper that
you're giving a presentation on. Being well prepared, you have added all your
figures at the end of your slides. Instead of pressing Forward a lot of times
to navigate to Figure 15, you press the shortcut, type "figure 15" and hit
Enter. Ta-da!

Needless to say, it's essential that this feature also works in Presentation
mode.

Reproducible: Didn't try
