I am pretty sure that *almost* exactly what you want is what I posted before.

Find bm-toggle.

,----
| (autoload 'bm-toggle   "bm" "Toggle bookmark in current buffer." t)
| (autoload 'bm-next     "bm" "Goto bookmark."                     t)
| (autoload 'bm-previous "bm" "Goto previous bookmark."            t)
| (global-set-key (kbd "<f8>")   'bm-next)
| (global-set-key (kbd "<M-f8>") 'bm-previous)
| (global-set-key (kbd "<C-f8>") 'bm-toggle)

I dont think there is a 20 or 50 maximum however.
