1. Open a file 2. Scroll to the end (common if working on, say, a book) 3. Close the file 4. Open the file again, to continue working on your book
Notice the cursor position is 1:1, instead of where you left off.
Could add cursor position to the end of recents filenames, that would allow the cursor to move to where it was (or as near as possible if the file changed and its now past the end) and that would be onscreen. Similarly could do getfirst visible and set first visble to scroll position.
A well written pull request would probably be accepted.
