Help needed to : Start on the line where I left when I opened the file last time
Hi, I just need some help on vim configuration. Let say the file is good.text. I open the file and goto 66 line and come out by typing :wq in escape mode. Now, when I open it again, my cursor is placed in line 0. I want it to be placed in line 66. I am facing this problem in my Solaris 10 x86 machine. The same thing is working fine in Linux. Can you please help me what configuration do I need to change to enable this feature. [I have tried Google search and could not get useful links].

Hi Swaroop, Thank you for the reply. I have tried the option suggested by you. But unfortunately it is not working. After reading some documentation, I came to know that we can do that by typing ` [backquote doublequote ]. But I want to do this automatically at the time when I open the file.

Thank you Durga Prasad There is an autocommand near the end of the vimrc_example which does just that; so adding runtime vimrc_example.vim near the top of your vimrc should be enough.

RE: Help needed to : Start on the line where I left when I opened the file last time
Read http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=80 , Restore cursor to file position in previous editing session. This tip does most of what I want thanks to the additional notes section. I have realized, this only returns us to the row we were on. Does anyone know if it is also possible to return the the row and column position? I am not sure if the column position is also stored within the viminfo file. TIA, Dave

The row and column are both stored as part of the mark. Just make sure you
execute g` where the first character after the g is a backtick. The
vimrc_example.vim does it as follows:
When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position.
Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event handler
(happens when dropping a file on gvim).
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line('\) 0 line('\) = line($) |
\ exe normal! g`\ |
\ endif
Best regards,
Tony.
