I, too, like the "keeppos" (short for keepposn?) command modifier.
I agree that one shouldn't change the default behavior due to backwards
compatability considerations. My own plugins typically do a
save&restore position and so wouldn't be affected by whether or not that
default behavior changed.
One thing about keepposn, though: a lot of the save&restore position
commands currently available keep the cursor in the same place in the
text, but don't keep the text in the same position on the screen.
Consequently using these causes the text to bounce around, which IMHO is
unacceptable. For example,
:set ve=all
:help getcurpos()
:let scp= getcurpos()
:norm! 4k4zl
:call setpos('.',scp)
This set of operations restores the cursor position in the text, but
does not restore the text position relative to the window.
