The marker/pointer

I don't know the correct term for this. It's that vertical line thing that you can control using J, K and L keys.

Can it be used as a bookmarker?

Let's say I was currently in the middle of an over one hour video, and I had to scroll my way back to the beginning of the video to check something. Is there a key then that I can press that can instantly bring me back to the marker/pointer where I left off in the middle?

Thanks

Press the "M" key to insert a marker. You can name the marker, too. Yes, there is a key that will return you to the marker. I'm not at my computer and rarely use this feature: look for it in the Help section.

To go back to the start of the project use "W." To go back to the last/next marker use Ctrl +left/right arrow.

Markers are numbered up to 99. To return to a specific marker, type in the number. For example. to return to marker 1 type 1. To return to 11, type 11 (after 99 they have no number so you have to go there manually)

I think this has to be done on the numeric keyboard.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that.
