A BETTER BOOKMARK

It looks like fun, but the only downside is that someone like me
can be very forgetful about deleting unnecessary elements
especially when rushing).

You could write a program that accepts the following key as a
dead stroke (nothing onscreen) but use it to control the program.

For instance, if you could read the cursor position (yes,
inaccurate if a lot of editing is going on but in general close)
at, say, the minus key; the plus key could let you jump to the
position.

And if you expand on that variant, you could add other keystrokes
as well, such as the numerals 1 to 0 for ten different positions,
either setting or going to. Keep the information in 3-digit SGs
to keep it in memory (though it wouldn't be valid for another
file--could check for that, though); turn off the display while
jumping; and there you have it: a complex mess from a simple one.
