C is still a bit alien for me, that's why I made "a bit" strange modifications. Please care about that if you edit the EditPos file by hand or the file somehow modified by other person, and the column is over the end of line (if it's evidence for you, then sorry :). > Any other reasons to tie positions to full filenames? Yes, I think. It could be strange for a user, that he edit "two files", and the positions are still the some. There must be a reason, why you make a link to another file. IMHO normally you won't edit the original and the link at the almost same time. With a tricky use of full filenames, you can make a link a file, and you can edit the file at two positions at the same time: you go to the original, edit it's first part, go to the link file, edit it's second part, etc... Don't think I think it serios, just an option.
Renaming can be a good reason, to do it, but do you do it so often? Actually, I don't know. :) --- An idea: we should store not just the xy, but screenxy positions, too. What do you think about? --- And another idea. Now both edit_move_to_column and edit_move_to_line subroutines are available in the editor. It's time to make it possible to store positions as bookmarks, for example Alt-0, Alt-1, Alt-2 going to bookmarks, Alt-S 0 stores the current position to the bookmark 0. Don't care about the examples, just the idea. The bookmark positions can be stored in the EditPos file, too. It could be another convenience if you edit a file at two positions at the same time, you don't have to use pgup/pgdown so much.
