      Patch #1747973 File-Edit-View-History Enhancement should be the thing you are looking for! The patch is already closed but not implemented. It's a major change for the old Notepad++ version 4.1.2

      What do you mean "remember last position cursore in file"?

        I think he means to save for all files open (or opened) the location of the cursor the moment that file lost focus (or was deleted and later re-opened again).

        The former one is doable, I guess, the latter one, well... that's most probably another story...

        Best rgds,

      I don't think if it is what Nobody says, but a good thinks could be to insert a mark at the last place of cursor before doing a find: indeed often you I use a find to know if something is in my source code or I use a volatile find to know the type or the use of my variable or using function list or using find in files... and often I want to come back to my original cursor position. Sometime I thinks to place a bookmark but often not, so it coul be interesting to insert a mark with a quick to go F4 may be.

      I hope that my explanation are clear enough (but I am not sure). Don't hesitate to ask precision if you want.

      Such type of thing is implemented in the microcontroller IDE named µVision developed by Keil Company (they use a blue arrow).

      Thanks a lot

      I mean:

      Position of cursore after open file = position before closed this file.

        i would LOVE this option.  my programming language (business rules!) when it calls the editor (N++) assigned, it tells it to pull the same file up, which resets the pointer back to the top of the file everytime...  very annoying...   currently i use the second view (cause it does not get reset) and/or use bookmarks and just jump back to the bookmark...   but I LOVE the idea of having a REMBMER LAST POSITION IN FILE option...   that would be cuper convient.

          Same problem here. I accidently hit Enter on a file in Explorer, which I had already opened in Notepad++. The file is in my session and because of that always has some text selected, which makes it very convenient to copy each time. Now, because I opened the file again, I lost my selection. I think it would be a good thing if Notepad++ would bring the file to the front, nothing else, if it is already open.

        OK I see.

        It's already done for the session.
        I won't work on it for the recent opened files history (ie. close a file then open it right away).
