Forcing vim to remember the cursor position

In some VIM installations this awesome editor does not remember the last cursor position in the former edition of a file. Of course, this can be a pain. Here is a small tip to solve this problem. You only need to copy this code into your .vimrc file

" Uncomment the following to have Vim jump to the last position when

" reopening a file

if has("autocmd")

au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$")

\| exe "normal g'\"" | endif

endif
