Script Roundup: vim-lastplace

vim-lastplace (GitHub: dietsche/vim-lastplace, License: MIT) records the last line you were on when you reopen a file. It can ignore certain files, which means you won’t get issues when making Git commits. The ignored files are configurable with g:lastplace_ignore.

This plugin is based around BufReadPost, which allows a command to be added whenever a file is opened. It then positions the cursor using g with a backtick and ", which moves the cursor at the last known position in the file. So it's essentially an intelligent repackaging of a built-in Vim feature, which appealed to me. It goes to show that useful plugins don't need a huge amount of code!
