Jump to a bookmark+ dired bookmark from Lisp code

Question

According to the docu of Bookmark+ this code:

(bmkp-dired-jump BOOKMARK-NAME &optional FLIP-USE-REGION-P)

should allow to quickly jump to a dired buffer that has been bookmarked.

I try to eval (bmkp-dired-jump d_zh_tmp)
thinking it should jump to a bookmark called d_zh_tmp but instead I get an error:

eval-buffer: Symbol's value as variable is void: d_zh_tmp

Any clue what I'm missing here?

Answer 1

The bmkp-dired-jump function evaluates its argument; the literal bookmark name therefore needs to be enclosed in quotation marks.

(bmkp-dired-jump "d_zh_tmp")

Alternatively, you could set the argument equal to a variable, whose value is that string.

(setq d_zh_tmp_var "d_zh_tmp")
(bmkp-dired-jump d_zh_tmp_var)
