I've been doing some editing of looong documents recently, bouncing back
and forth between sections. I was wasting a noticeable amount of time
in finding my place until I thought of creating a placeholder icon.
Specifically, I went to the Finder and hit Cmd-M, creating a folder. I
then changed the name to "<<<<<<" and Cmd-dragged it to sit next to the
"thumb" on the application's slider bar. Every so often, as I edit the
file, I do a "Save", then move the icon down a bit. It's really silly,
but it actually turns out to be very useful.
