>>I don't really remember when this stopped working, but the alt+f2 simply doesn't work anymore, nor does the rightclick+ToggleBookmark. I know I've zapped some bloated tables in home(), I only wish I knew which ones does this depend on. Adding tasklist shortcuts also doesn't work.

True, but in some cases I found good use of what it does do. I need to mark a few places in a long prg and keep them for maybe one hour, so I can flip between these places quickly. And yeah, having to move them as I insert or delete lines makes them very temporary.
