New feature: bb-jump: quickly navigate directly to any bm

[Boruch-Baum]

• Inspired by function bookmark-jump from emacs-core package bookmark.el

• List of bookmarks are presented as mini-buffer completion candidates

• Presentation includes enhanced fontification of each bookmark's file name and line number.

I am not getting this to work properly:

• No auto-complete in the minibuffer just a history list to scroll up or down.
• Jumping to a bookmark in a buffer other than the current buffer does not work.

Isn't this use-case already solved by the functionality of bm-show and bm-show-all?

It's using the standard emacs function 'completing-read' so how-ever you personally have that set up for completion should work. You can see on line 59 that a collection is being given as the second arg to completing read and NO history argument is being provided. Maybe you need to press TAB twice? There are many front ends for completing-read (eg. helm, ido, ivy, icicles) so it may depend on what you have installed.

* Jumping to a bookmark in a buffer other than the current buffer does not work.

That's a bug. It should be fixed if between lines 597-598 you add: (pop-to-buffer (overlay-buffer (cadr decision))) so: (when (setq decision (assoc decision candidates)) (goto-char (overlay-start (cadr decision)))))) becomes: (when (setq decision (assoc decision candidates)) (pop-to-buffer (overlay-buffer (cadr decision))) (goto-char (overlay-start (cadr decision))))))

Can this use-case be solved by the functionality of bm-show?

I wanted to offer something quicker, that didn't entail creating a new buffer, and then needing to navigate through it. The behavior is modeled on the behavior of the emacs 'C-x r d' (M-x bookmark-jump), but with a prettier and more informative display. Strange / curious about the lack of auto-complete, though. Do you have any more details to share about that? Also, let me know if you're ok with the additional line at 597-598 Did you get a chance to look at the other PR?

I understand that the bookmark is not available, but I don't like that jumping to a bookmark is done without using bm-goto() since there are more things happening in addition to the jump.

I don't understand. If you're saying to just replace the the line (now two lines) with function bm-goto, just do it! What's the big deal, then? Are you asking me to do it?
