I use signs usually only to display marks directly. I think there are
several plugins for that functionality available, though I use my own.
Theoretically you can also use signs, to color a buffer specially. I have
done that before. And you can jump to signs using :sign jump
BTW: I noticed some unexpected behaviour when writing savesigns.vba.
Is this behaviour a feature or a bug?
:redir => a | sil sign list | redir end
(this errors "E155: Unknown sign: |")
so one has to wrap this command into
:redir => a | exe 'sil sign list' | redir end

Christian
