Description

Describe the bug
Global bookmarks disappear after closing vsc.
In native VIM, it will be kept and permanent.

And a suggestion, it is better to give global bookmarks another color (for example, green), to distinguish them with local ones. Or it can be set separately.

To Reproduce

  1. open a file
  2. press 'm' + 'A', get a global bookmark 'A'
  3. close vsc, and reopen
  4. bookmark 'A' is not kept. no bookmark at all.

Expected behavior
Global bookmarks are kept like native VIM.

Screenshots

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in VSCode with the m+A sequence, then inspect the global bookmark persistence and restoration entry points. Confirm that global bookmark A survives closing and reopening VSCode; the separate color suggestion is an additional scope decision.
