support progress bar/marker

snmnzl opened this issue · 4 comments

For continuous work on one .tsv document in different sessions, it would be handy to be able to mark the progress within that document.
This could fx be realized through an additional column which places a visual marker (e.g. arrow icon) in a selected row by clicking on it.

My current thinking is to allow the placement of ONE continue marker that can be set anywhere in the LOCATION column. Upon opening a TSV file that contains such a continue marker, it would offer to jump directly to that line. Would that be of help @snmnzl @JZinck ?

neat could also store the position at save time within the tsv file as a comment.
When that tsv file is opened again, it could jump automatically to that position.

Even better idea!

Both ideas are very good. I could use the marker while revising as well, since I have to scroll up and down a couple of times and could just use the marker like a bookmark. But the risk of forgettig to put it down before saving and exiting (which I am worrried about) would be nullified by the saved position feature. So I can see the merit of combining them over each individual idea.

In case this is an either-or-situation I think the marker would be more useful to the way I use the tool (but this might differ from what other users might need).
