A silly example for editor.annotate_line. It's does a search on the current file and setting an annotation. This case is just the occurrence. Editor has a built in search, but just an example.

import editor, clipboard, console, io

def get_file_text():
    file_name = editor.get_path()
    with io.open(file_name, encoding = 'utf-8') as file:
        return file.read()

def find_lines(text, search_text):
    lst = []
    for ln_no, ln in enumerate(text.splitlines()):
        if search_text in ln:
            lst.append(ln_no + 1)
    return lst  

def mark_lines(lns, s_text):
    for i, ln in enumerate(lns):
        editor.annotate_line(ln, text = str(i + 1), style = 'success', expanded= False)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    s_text = console.input_alert('Enter text to search for')
    if not s_text:
        exit()

    file_text = get_file_text()

    ln_list = find_lines(file_text, s_text)
    mark_lines(ln_list, s_text)

Ok, somewhere along the line I missed you can tap the file name to navigate the annotations. But its a great implementation I think

@phuket2 this is really nice. You had mentioned that to me before but I wasn't sure what you meant. It's cool. I'm more and more looking forward to the next version of pythonista!
