Is it possible to have Vim always start at whatever line i was in last time i was working in that given file? And if so, how do i do that?

A:
Put this in your .vimrc:
" When editing a file, always jump to the last cursor position
au BufReadPost *
\ if ! exists("g:leave_my_cursor_position_alone") |
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line ("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g'\"" |
\ endif |
\ endif
then you can use :let g:leave_my_cursor_position_alone=1 at runtime to deactivate the feature.

it's very unreadable, but does just what i need.

did you find that somewhere or did you write it yourself?

I have a long .vimrc, with stuff sedimented over time. I suggest you have a look at some of the general questions/blog posts about .vimrc and take what you please.

@Hermann Ingjaldsson this code comes from eval.txt vim help file, see `:h last-position-jump`. (except the `g:leave_my_cursor_position_alone` variable).
