+            <p>Often times, when I run a vim command that makes &#8220;big&#8221; changes to a file (a
+macro or a <code>:vimgrep</code> command) I lose my original position and feel disoriented.</p>
+
+<p><em>Save position with <code>winsaveview()</code>!</em></p>
+
+<p>The <code>winsaveview()</code> command returns a <code>Dictionary</code> 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.</p>
+
+<p>Before running our command (one that jumps around the buffer, a lot), we save
+our view, and restore it once its done, with <code>winrestview</code>.</p>
+
+<pre><code>let view = winsaveview()
+s/\s\+$//gc              &quot; find and confirm replace trailing blanks
+winrestview(view)        &quot; restore our original view!
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>It might seem a little overkill in the above example, just use &#8220; (double
+backticks) instead, but it comes in handy when you run your file through
+heavier filtering.</p>
