Visual Micro

@mkristensen And we use the toolbar buttons to add remove.

Do you use bookmarks in Visual Studio? Tell me why or why not?

Yes. They help when working on current code in different files but become obsolete quite quickly after the work ends. I always forget to remove them. Being able to pin files temporarily to the top of the solution explorer would also help or the ability to see all open tabs as a searchable file list. The pinned list might be more useful, it would avoid having so many tabs open. A large solution would benefit from that.
