Linux code editor with bookmark toggling via mouse?

Question

On Windows, Notepad++ is my favorite editor because I use the mouse to toggle bookmarks by clicking the line number.

Is there a code editor that does that on Linux? Atom and Sublime only appear to support a keyboard shortcut, and SciTE doesn't even do that.

I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 on a 32-bit Dell Latitude D630.

I use Geany, and can get a marker to show up next to a line by cliking in the space between line number adn actual editor window. However, I can't figure out what those marks are used for.... — ivanivan, Mar 22 '17 at 17:22
@ivanivan You can mark the lines you're working on and switch between them using Ctrl+, and Ctrl+. Notepad++ uses F2 and Shift+F2 for that. — Cees Timmerman, Mar 23 '17 at 10:10

Geany also supports simple mouse-based bookmarking, but requires two keys to cycle through them.

Code::Blocks could be a good choice for you to try:

I prefer a single left click to toggle, single key to switch focus, and most recent version via Synaptic. — Cees Timmerman, Mar 23 '17 at 10:19

CudaText editor does that on mouse click. Click on gutter, lefter than line numbers, it toggles bookmark for that line.

It is free, runs good on Linux.
