Made for Pulsar!

This package was written specifically for Pulsar and did not exist in the Atom package repository.

scroll-keeper

Maintain scroll position during pane resizing. Keeps your cursor at the same visual position when soft-wrap recalculates.

Features

Position preservation: Maintains cursor's visual position during resize.
Soft-wrap aware: Adjusts scroll when soft-wrap recalculates.
Debounced: Reduces CPU usage during resize operations.
smooth-scroll integration: Works with smooth-scroll if installed.

Installation

To install scroll-keeper search for scroll-keeper in the Install pane of the Pulsar settings or run ppm install scroll-keeper. Alternatively, you can run ppm install asiloisad/pulsar-scroll-keeper to install a package directly from the GitHub repository.

How it works

The package works best when soft-wrap is enabled, as this is when screen position differs from buffer position. When you resize a pane or split the editor:

Before resize: Records the cursor's position relative to the viewport top
During resize: Debounces soft-wrap recalculation to improve performance
After resize: Restores position so the cursor stays at the same visual location
