Intelligently reopen files at your last edit position. By default git, svn, and mercurial commit messages are ignored because you probably want to type a new message and not re-edit the previous one.
Advantages over the snippets that can be found around the net include:
- Maximizes Available Context
- Center the cursor vertically after restoring last edit position.
- Keep as much of the file on screen as possible when last edit position is at the end of the file.
- Commit messages automatically start beginning of the file. This is important because many version control systems re-use the same file for commit message editing.
- Opens folds if the last edit position is inside a fold.
You can configure what file types to ignore by setting g:lastplace_ignore. For example to only ignore git and svn commit messages try this in your vimrc:
let g:lastplace_ignore = "gitcommit,svn"
I recommend using pathogen.vim.
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/dietsche/vim-lastplace.git
