Re: How to remember end of line when quitting/reopening in insert mode

It seems that my point was definitely not clear. I state it again:

Please launch gvim easy (using vimrc_example.vim as .vimrc)
gvim -y file1
Put the cursor (|) at the end of line 10 (after the last letter, say
column 24)
Quit (by using the cross in the right-up corner of the window)
Reopen by gvim -y file1

Result: The cursor is not at line 10, column 24 but at line10, column
23 (before the last letter).

This means that easy gvim does not remember the end of line cursor
position.
I think that this will be perceived as a bug by easy gvim users.
Other insert mode text editors like gnome/gedit do remember the end of
line cursor position properly.

You are right, it solves the problem for a pure insert mode use.
The side effect for those that use CTRL-L to access normal mode is
that the x command (del) no longer goes back when reaching the end of
a line. Annoying in my opinion.
