viewsnap.nvim

'viewsnap.nvim' keeps your current cursor & scroll positions, if you back to the old buffers.
So your eyes don't have to search the cursor arround.

I recommend this plugin below for same purpose. It allows you to save views between sessions. https://github.com/ecthelionvi/NeoView.nvim

Function

• Save current cursor position & scroll position in BufLeave.
• Restore the positions in BufEnter.
• Restore the positions, when you re-open the old buffers which you closed before.

Install

Packer

use("riodelphino/viewsnap.nvim")

Config

No configuration is required.

Usage

1. Open a buffer.
2. Change the cursor position & scroll.
3. Open another buffer.
4. Back to the first buffer.
5. The cursor & scroll positions are reserved.

Thanks for this old article for vim.

I convert all the code to lua, and make it to a plugin. That's all.

(Sorry, in conversion, some features might have been lost.)
