    There are plugins that show the marks in the sign column, like this one https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature.
  • Marks are amazing!
    2 projects | /r/vim | 8 Jan 2022

  • vim-signature in lua?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 3 Nov 2021
    i couldn't find lua version of vim-signature. does it exist?
  • How do you remember which mark is which?
    3 projects | /r/vim | 7 Oct 2021
    In addition to this, I also installed a plugin recently that shows the active marks on the line just before the line numbering. It is actually the most recent plugin I installed: https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature
  • Marks are silent; how to make them noisy?
    6 projects | /r/vim | 15 Aug 2021
    I use vim-signature. Everytime I hit ma, it places an a on the left column. That instant visual feedback is helpful for me.
  • Marks list?
    4 projects | /r/vim | 15 Jul 2021
    It's a plugin... But vim-signature ( https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature ) might be a good choice.
  • Best autocmd(or other event) for adding highlight to mark?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 5 Jun 2021
    I use https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature
  • How do you navigate forwards and backwards between positions?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 22 May 2021
    I think you mean vim-signature.
  • Can you place a mark of same letter in different places and cycle through them?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 25 Apr 2021
    For example, placing the mark 'a' on lines 15,40,120,200 and then cycle through them as you keep calling on that mark 'a'. I've realized the main problem with how vim's native marks work is they are easily forgettable and delicate as you can easily override a previously set mark. I recently started using the plugin vim-signature and the ability to set symbol-markers in different locations and cycle through them is personally a game changer. I want to see if it's possible to do the same with letter keys, so calling on the mark 'q' will cycle through all the areas marked with it, rather than overriding and creating a new mark.
