Hi, maybe i'm the only person who loved that feature that much, but I'm just not finding coding as quick and easy without it. I'm forever having to do find-text and losing my place scrolling back and forth and forgetting which bit I was working on when I'm tired.

Surely it can't be that hard to put it back in in a future update and our sanity. I know it's only a small thing, but it helped sooooo much. Especially after growing up on Command and Conquer.

If it's impossible then it's impossible, and if I'm the only person who's missing it then so be it, but if not is there any chance of getting it back?

You could always quickly hit Undo and Redo and it'll go to the last line you were working on.

I agree that there are several ways to work your way around it, but none as are useful as the full blown method of old.

Undo and Redo helps so long as you only want to find one place - like if you want to jump somewhere and copy text then jump back, but it doesn't help you jump back again or elsewhere. Bookmarking several sections when you are working in several parts at the same time is hugely helpful.

Right now i'm having to place codes dotted around (az1, az2, az3 etc) then ctrl+f, type them in, close the find box and repeat. Either that or use the functions address bar and start at the top of the function and scroll to find that line of code again, and again. I'm on night shift and at 3am it all starts to get to be a pain in the bum. Oh, for the old days of bookmarking locations.

Thanks for the advice though (I just have this dream of living in a world where everything improves with time, not some little bits go backwards).

Another alternative is to use BlueIDE 2 where you can look at 4 different sections of code at a time or just 2 if you want (see attached image).
