    Extension do it's job, but usability is awkward.

    0. Default shortcut key Ctrl + . is colliding with Multi-Account Container extension popping up it's dialog.
    1. Without clear note how shortcut keys work I had to fumble around to figure it out even after reading comments here.
    2. Alt + key combinations are not accepted for some reason although in other extension works fine.
    3. Ctrl +[ is accepted, but Ctrl + ] is not, weird, same with some other keys.
    4. Marks drop down list is prone to accidents. I'd very much prefer something like this:
    Currently:
    [1][Mark][Scroll]
    [2][Mark]
    Proposition:
    [1][Go to][X]
    [2][Mark]
    Currently "Mark" button is always under the mouse provoking accident click destroying existing mark. Replacing existing button function eliminates accidents. [X] button clears mark allowing to mark it again. Also it would be nice if assigned mark buttons have background color highlight to make them move visually distinguishable from empty slots. For the same reason I made it "Go to" with space in the middle instead of single word "Scroll".

    EDIT: It works now, thanks Developer
    Marking don't work on local files, e.g. file:///E:/folder/page.html

    Thanks for telling this. I will fix this bug.

    Edit. I uploaded new version, now it should work on local files.

    Edit 2. Thank you for the feedback. I will try to fix those key shortcut issues and see if the UI changes you proposed seem like good ideas. I noticed too now that Multi Account Container's shortcut is ctrl + . I guess it changed recently. It would be best to change the default shortcut.

    Edit 3. About ctrl + ] not working, I was able to use both. Maybe it's some keyboard layout issue. I need to press AltGr to get [ and ]. I will make an issue on GitHub. Would you like to come there to discuss about these? https://github.com/fluks/mark-location-webextension/issues/31

    The extension is useful, except the fact that it not works in other tabs when the URL is copied.

    Should work now in the new version if permanent marks in the settings is turned on.

    Hi
    I think the addon is useful, but it's a pity the markers are not saved. After reloading the page, the mark is no longer available and it would be good if you can manuel delete it again.
    Would be nice if you could do that. Then there are 5 stars.

    You are not the only one to request permanent marks. I looked into it how it could be implemented and it shouldn't be very difficult. One thing to consider is, that the marks are really just x and y coordinates on the page. If the layout of the page is changed, the marks might not point to correct positions anymore.

    I'll try to add this feature when I can.

    Late edit. New version supports now permanent marks. You can change it in the settings.
