So you could map the SET_ or TOGGLE_BOOKMARK action as desired.  Or, 
really, as was the point of my message, it would be done for you, 
automatically, by the database update since you're not a new user.

Here I'm simply saying there are other approaches that would be 
available to a new user who hasn't mapped the action if it has an empty 
key list.  Sure, it could be good to have a discoverable option in the 
menu, too, but since using the menu to set a bookmark would be rather 
clumsy, I'd argue it's not necessary.  I would be for changing the 
Action on playback exit setting to default (for new users) to save 
position and exit.
