I'm back again, with more questions, yay!
Is there a way to do something like place markers in a browser? I'm using Firefox but I doubt it matters. I don't need something permanent, here's the problem I'm trying to solve.
Say I'm reading something long, a book from Project Gutenberg for example. In another window/tab, I have a page up to track a package. If I use cmd-` (grave accent, the key under escape) to switch to that site to see if there are any updates, and then switch back to my long text, I end up back at the beginning of it. At that point, I either have to try and remember a term to find it, or just use VO-right to scroll through it until I get back to where I was.
So I just need a way to put something temporary at that spot before I switch, so when I come back, if I'm not where I was, I can hit a key and jump to it. I'm sure this has been asked before, so apologies, but does anything like that exist? I'd want it to be temporary not only because it doesn't need to be preserved, but also because if I get farther in the text, I might want to make a new marker.
I haven't really looked into web spots or whatever they are yet, so another solution would be to make one, and if they're simple enough to delete, just remove it when I'm done. That might work a little better because then I could save it between reboots as a bookmark, and then delete it if I want to move it farther in. the text or when I'm done reading it. Thanks in advance for any solutions.
