I work with vim netranger for file management. The version I use doesn't have a bookmark feature for files. That means to be able to quickly navigate to a common files by a defined keyboard shortcut.
Do you know of an external plugin that does?

4Have you already considered using upper case marks? – Rich Dec 22 '20 at 03:16

Didn't occur to me. It is good. Displaying the maps shouldn't be that hard. I can write it using fzf. – eyal karni Dec 22 '20 at 04:38

Vim includes this as a standard feature.
You can mark a location in a file with any upper case letter: mA. You can then jump to your bookmark with either a single quote or backtick: `A.
The marks are saved when you exit Vim.
(Sidenote: Suddenly discovering — after knowing it existed for many years — that this feature could be used for permanent bookmarks was a game changer for me. Before that point I'd never once used an uppercase mark. Now I have several that I use to jump to files I access frequently. e.g. I have mark 'T at the top of a TODO file so I can very quickly capture work items whatever I'm doing.)

I use vim-bookmark which is really basic... but it is fine.
