- - Hold Position! - -
-

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.
