Remember scroll position in large markdown files #40

Feature Request

Remember the last viewed position in large markdown files to reduce the need to scroll back to where the user left off.

Proposed Behavior

  • Remember location in large MD files (minimum line threshold configurable in Settings)
  • Remember either:
    • The specific line number, OR
    • The header that is currently at the top of the viewable area

Why?

Minimizes annoying scrolling in large markdown documents to return to the last read position. When working with lengthy documentation or reference files, users frequently lose their place and have to scroll back to find where they stopped reading.

Additional Notes

  • A configurable minimum file size (e.g., 100 lines) would avoid cluttering settings for small files
  • Storing the header ID/anchor could be more resilient than absolute line numbers if content changes
