Re: Why does (my) Vim leave the cursor to the last mark even if I don't save the file?

I would find it inconsistent for somtimes jumping to a different spot in
a file and sometimes not. I might not even remember if I last time saved
that particular file or not (e.g. I just need to check something but did
not save the file). That might be confusing.

It might be possible to change that behaviour using a custom function
(e.g. set a flag on BufWritePost, check that flag on a BufLeave
autocomamnd and set the '" mark accordingly). Not sure if this will work
or not.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
