This suggests a feature that would likely be appreciated by non-techie users. When, in a long document, a user moves fragments around, it helps the user to mark a location as one to come back to. I do it by typing a stream of asterisks and then using the Find command to find the asterisks. So, when I want to move a fragment from later in a document to an earlier point, I mark the earlier point with a string of asterisks that otherwise doesn't exist in the document, I cut the fragment to be moved, I find the asterisks string, and I paste over the asterisks string with the cut fragment from elsewhere. This has two drawbacks: The user has to think of doing this, otherwise will have to scroll manually. And the user has to create a unique string not existing in the document or has to evaluate multiple locations to find the intended one. Marking should be by a menu command and should be invisible in the document. My hardware description is a guess.
Use bookmarks?
Sounds like reminders will fit the job: https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Navigator#Set_Reminder Closing as INVALID.
From what i've heard from Cor, reminders are limited to 5 per document and disappear after you close the document, so the best thing would likely be to use bookmarks (insert > bookmark) and use the navigator (f5) to jump to the location of the bookmark so that you can do what you need to do.
You're right. I probably thought the Bookmark command was for use like in browsers, thus for bookmarking whole pages or files, not locations within a file. It's probably too late to rename the command. A bit cumbersome to use, not as I remember a similar feature in Macintosh System 6 or one of its applications (MS Word 3 or 4?) decades ago, but it's probably not practical to simplify this command pair (Bookmark and Navigator). I didn't know about Reminder, I wouldn't have thought the word meant this, it doesn't seem to be in my version of Writer (not in menus without checking submenus and not in Help), and I understand my LibreOffice version is now at EOL. But I guess it would work, too. Thanks.

But I guess it would work, too. Reminder is located in the navigator window/sidebar and is available in all versions of libreoffice. Its the second button going from the left on the second row in the sidebar. Its tooltip says 'Set Reminder' and its an exclusive feature of the navigator so thats why you dont see it mentioned elsewhere. https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Navigator
