Emacs: Save Cursor Position

You can save the cursor position for every file you opened. So, next time you open the file, the cursor will be at the position you last opened it.

Put this in your Emacs Init File:

;; remember cursor position
(if (version< emacs-version "25.0")
    (progn
      (require 'saveplace)
      (setq-default save-place t))
  (save-place-mode 1))

save-place-file

Variable. Name of the file that records save-place-alist value. By default its ~/.emacs.d/places

saveplace.el is written by Karl Fogel since 1993. Karl is also the author of Emacs Bookmark Feature. Thanks Karl.
