Remember the last known selection position in each file - issue #87

The biggest problem obviously is the collection and storage of such information. One problem is that we would collect the last-known-position information about every single file ever opened. This somewhat sounds like spying on a user.. :) The other problem is that the data might grow over time and with people who edit lots of files, it may become a huge amount of information. Note: Several remote file managers (FTP, SCP) download files into temporary files for local editing. These files would become a one-time-only bloat. Maybe a limit of upto latest 100 files would be acceptable for both these issues. And perhaps set this option "off" by default.
