Bug#825665: RFP: vim-lastplace -- Intelligently reopen files at your last edit position



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : vim-lastplace
  Version         : 3.0.2
  Upstream Author : Greg Dietsche
* URL             : https://github.com/dietsche/vim-lastplace
* License         : MIT/X
  Programming Lang: vim script
  Description     : Intelligently reopen files at your last edit position

Intelligently reopen files at your last edit position.  By default git,
svn, and mercurial commit messages are ignored because you probably want
to type a new message and not re-edit the previous one.  Advantages over
the snippets that can be found around the net include:

* Maximizes Available Context
* Center the cursor vertically after restoring last edit position.
* Keep as much of the file on screen as possible when last edit position is at the end of the file.
* Commit messages automatically start beginning of the file. This is important because many version control systems re-use the same file for commit message editing.
* Opens folds if the last edit position is inside a fold.

This should be an ideal, extremely easy package for a newbie, as long as
it the maintainer is a vim user (don't package what you won't use/test).
