quote clipping has removed my description of the irksome behavior -- in
a nutshell, it is that when I open a text module with a first line that
has 46 blanks before the first non-blank character, the cursor is placed
on line one COLUMN 47. If I start out by scrolling with j, it can be a
real trick to see, especially when I am expecting it to be over on the
left

when using vim and nocursorline and nocursorcolumn for me the cursor is
a mere underscore, difficult to see, and it helps immeasurably if I know
where it is without having to look for it

for me there are two ways forward: 1) use an autocommand as Tim
suggested, or 2) learn to hit 0 before I start scrolling

I am proceeding with (1), as I want the cursor to be on line 1 column 1
whenever I open a new buffer -- so far the autocommand hasn't broken any
of my scripts
