Somewhat more useful, perhaps, but closely related, there
are two specializations of this feature: one to automatically
bookmark Info nodes you visit, and one to do that for web
pages you visit (with EWW). For example, for Info:
bmkp-info-auto-bookmark-mode is an interactive Lisp function in
'bookmark+-1.el'.
(bmkp-info-auto-bookmark-mode &optional ARG)
Toggle automatically setting a bookmark when you visit an Info node.
The bookmark name is "(MANUAL) `NODE'", where:
MANUAL is the name of the current manual (the base file name).
NODE is the name of the current node.
If option `bmkp-info-auto-type' is `create-or-update' then such a
bookmark is created for the node if none exists. If the option value
is `update-only' then no new bookmark is created automatically, but an
existing bookmark is updated. (Updating a bookmark increments the
recorded number of visits.) You can toggle the option using
`M-x bmkp-toggle-info-auto-type'.
And you can sort/access Info bookmarks that you've visited most
or least etc. This is one of the advantages of bookmarks: they
do things like record the number of visits, time of last visit,
etc.
