Maintain Scroll Position

It may be nice to try and restore the scroll position in addition to the last place that was edited. Various challenges would have to be dealt with including:

  • windows of different heights
  • scrolloff settings that are non zero
  • other??

A naive implementation could be realized by following this outline:

  • Ask the user set set viminfo+=! in their .vimrc
  • BufWinLeave: save line("w0") in a global variable that is persisted due to viminfo ! flag being set
  • BufWinEnter : jump to saved w0, then to '"
