Improve editor cursor - (at file open & at edit/view swap)

[gsantner]

General information

• App version: 2.5

Description

Combined issue for improving mouse/cursor position handling at editor.

Replaces:

• Start on bottom not respected in bottom tabs(To-Do and QuickNote) #1238
• At times, cursor jumps when editing #1237
• View/Edit-Mode switch changes cursor position #1149
• Setting to control document open cursor pos (top/bottom), seperate last pos option #1004

Current thoughts:

• On Main page with the 4 tabs - always start on bottom. Not affected by any settings. Especially important to see the hot "ShareInto" stuff immediately after appeneded.
• Remember cursor position only for 12 hours (ie save timestamp). When file was last opened 12h+ ago, ignore remembered position.
• If nothing else, use the preferred start position from settings (start on top/bottom).

Hey @gsantner,

As I mentioned in the other issue did a screencap, maybe it will reveal the issue:

This is from latest master, but same behaviour as v2.5.0.

hey @gsantner,

I ended up digging into the code for a bit, did some quick changes, let me know if this is good or not.

At least this seems as the most user friendly behaviour while respecting the app settings.

Happy to change anything if you have any comments.

Cheers.
