Feature request - show all bookmarks

[PhilipDaniels]

Hi Jo,

Please could you add a function which will display all bookmarks that exist, not just those in open buffers. Currently, you have to open a file before the bookmarks become available. Instead, it would be nice to use the bookmark list as an entry point to opening files.

I implemented something like this for my own Emacs config. My implementation lists all the bookmarks from all the files using Helm. Unfortunately, the implementation is pretty coupled with the rest of my setup so it might not be all that useful for others but maybe it can still serve as an example on how something like this could be implemented.

+1. I've just started actually saving my bookmarks (vs keeping them transient) and can see this restriction being annoying.

A simpler alternative, of course, would be to use Desktop Save Mode to restore your open files.

@Soft - I tried your bm-list-all-bookmarks function, but it just hangs for me (likely because there are too many files in my helm workspace). That did introduce me to the f.el package which I think may come in handy later.
