New user here.. I find the marked lines very promising.. Is there a way to save the marked lines into a new file?

Thanks very much for any info.

Copy them with
Edit | Copy Other | Bookmarked Lines

Switch to the new file and paste them.

you could record this in a macro which may be called with a keyboard short cut:

1) record the macro
Start Macro Recorder
- Edit | Copy Other | Bookmarked Lines
- <Ctrl>-N (==File | new)
- <Ctrl>-V (==Edit | paste)
Stop Recorder
Save Macro

2) Configuration/preferences/Keyboard: assign a key combination, I use <Ctrl>-B ('Bookmarks') for example


- set bookmarks, e.g. with F5 (search) /Mark all button
- <Ctrl-B>
=> new file with marked lines
