inserting marks in a file for ease of playback

I can't seem to find a simple command for putting marks in a file to simplify cues for playback. Is there a quick way to do this?

Placing a label at the current cursor position - use CTRL+B

Or to mark the current position while playing or recording use CTRL+M

This will create labels in a label track - afterwards you can jump from label to label with the tab key.

(Note that labels are also used to break recordings into tracks - the label mname is used as a filename/trackname.)
