+Often times, when I run a vim command that makes "big" changes to a file (a
+macro or a `:vimgrep` command) I lose my original position and feel disoriented.
+
+*Save position with `winsaveview()`!*
+
+The `winsaveview()` command returns a `Dictionary` that contains information
+about the view of the current window. This includes the cursor line number,
+cursor coloumn, the top most line in the window and a couple of other values,
+none of which concern us.
+
+Before running our command (one that jumps around the buffer, a lot), we save
+our view, and restore it once its done, with `winrestview`.
+
+```
+let view = winsaveview()
+s/\s\+$//gc              " find and confirm replace trailing blanks
+winrestview(view)        " restore our original view!
+```
+
+It might seem a little overkill in the above example, just use `` (double
+backticks) instead, but it comes in handy when you run your file through
+heavier filtering.
