Request for a new script, permitting for a new "Bookmarks" feature:

[highflyer77]

"Bookmarks" would have the main function of placing bookmarks in the chat buffer for future reference.

Usage of it would permit the user to: mark interesting conversation one would wish to reference, or to mark snippits of code examples given in a channel (especially useful on freenode), or maybe you are catching up on some reading and you got 400 lines to go, but someone just said something, so you pop to the bottom using alt-end and then you might want to pop back to that bookmark you just created, where you left off at.

Design of it would involve possibly highlighting the timestamp for placement of the bookmarkers, or a colorized ">" on the right hand side of the timestamp to indicate the bookmark location or anything similar the author would choose, which could serve as markers for the bookmarks. The author could possibly impliment this by associating a buffers timestamp with a bookmark name in a bookmarks.dat or .conf file.

Some features that it could include are:
/bookmark list -- list all bookmarks /bookmark goto -- goto bookmark name alt-m -- toggle bookmark on/off (and when first toggled on ask for a name for the bookmark). alt->/alt-< -- goto previous/next bookmark in the buffer.

and a status bar item would be nice, with a bookmark count for that buffer.

If anybody likes this idea, or has suggestions, please comment on it. Thanks

is there any chance of seeing something like this?
