As a man who plays a lot of lobbies, pugs, scrims, and matches, I have a lot of killstreaks and bookmarks in my killstreaks.txt. However, I get very forgetful when organizing my bookmarks and when I'm getting ready to make a video, I get lost in a sea of Killstreak: 3's and 4's and 5's and Bookmarked lines. It can be very tedious to go back at the end of the day or week and sort through these demos to see what I found cool, interesting, or funny at the time that I hit my bookmark bind. There's gotta be some way for the disorganized to be more organized.
Personally, I haven't done much with anything like Linux or any TF2 plugins, so I'm not sure if this CAN be done, but I propose a new P-Rec command called prec_write, where you can write directly to the killstreaks.txt file from the console so that you can take notes for yourself as things happen.
For example, you're playing a match and you hit some amazing airshots, so you bookmark them. When you die, you can go to console and write
prec_write "Multiple airshot kills on above bookmark"
When you go back to make your videos, you can read right in your txt file what you did and when instead of just seeing the ambiguous "Bookmarked."
Thoughts?
EDIT:
I was completely unaware that you could add comments to the already made prec_mark
prec_mark "Multiple airshots" would do the trick. Thank you kaptain!

As I said, "when you die"
Or at the half, whatever. Just when you have time.

you can add a comment to the bookmark command, prec_mark. For example
prec_mark "Multiple_airshots"
will write
[2015/09/30/ 22:10] Multiple_airshots ("20150930_2210_cp_badlands_RED_BLU" at 200)
instead of
[2015/09/30/ 22:10] Player bookmark ("20150930_2210_cp_badlands_RED_BLU" at 200)

I think this is great idea and would perosnally really like if this could happen. For all the youtubers that want to make some snipers frags, or any frags whatever class, call things ect this would be truly amazing to use and would organize frags and call thigns a lot easier. Great idea would love to see this in prec.

This.
You could also have multiple keys bound to different comments (multiple airshots, med drop, etc). It should help you keeping things organized without losing too much time typing it out.
