Question

I used ctrl-6 to jump between two files and compare these two files page by page, But each time when I switch back, the page content is changed. That is, a new page with previous cursor line in the middle of screen now is shown instead.

Is there a way to keep the page position in the screen unchanged when I switched back.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

May I suggest using tabs (C-PgUp and C-PgDn to switch)?

You can always start by doing C-wsC-^C-wT

Otherwise see this odler answer of mine for hints on restoring cursor positions:

• After a :windo, how do I get the cursor back where it was?
• Vim buffer position change on window split (annoyance)
