BookmarkCanvas

This plugin provides a canvas for organizing bookmarks in IntelliJ IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, Android Studio, and WebStorm. The goal is to make it easy to create a visual representation both of bookmarks and of the relationships between them. The canvas should make it easy to quickly jump to a bookmarked location
