What happens when I scroll down, is that the cursor is

This is incredibly annoying since I have to scroll to the
right again.

While it has other side-effects, you might try

:set ve=all

which you can read about at

:help 'virtualedit'

It seems to allow me to jump to the end of a long line and then scroll
downward with the cursor landing in virtual-space on the short lines
without triggering the horizontal-scroll back to where the short lines
would normally force me. You can then just reset it when you don't want it:

:set ve=

-tim





I had a similar problem which was solved by   :set nostartofline
This prevents the cursor from automatically moving to the first non-blank character: the column is kept.
