Global marks only remember file, not cursor position about nvim-project-marks

[BartSte]

@rasmusq thanks for your interest in this plugin.

As stated in the readme, wouldn't the expected behaviour be:

After jumping to a mark, jump to the last cursor position in that file. That's it, nothing more.

So no jump is made to the file mark, instead the cursor jumps to the last position in the file.

Does this help?

I think ik you set mappings = false in your config, you will gat the behaviour you want, i.e., the vanilla vim behaviour while you marks are still stored in the local shada file.

Well, I just can't seem to understand any of the features of this plugin. Of course that is the setting that does that!
Thank you for your patience.
I don't think the time I spent yesterday was for nothing, as I got introduced to how Neovim plugins work.

Closing the issue...

Hi @BartSte.
First of all, thank you for making this plugin!
It is truly a necessary feature making the mark functionality actually useful in NeoVim. I don't know if the marks feature would be usable for me if it didn't exist.
I would argue that its flexibility and proximity to the native implementation makes it a better tool than Harpoon.

That does help with my understanding.
I must have read the point wrong initially.

After reading more into it, I now understand my confusion.
When going to a global mark A, it runs the motion 'A'".
The " mark updates every time the buffer is exited as expected.
What I didn't expect is that it also updates when deleting a mark.
That has got to be a quirk of NeoVim or something.

So it is probably working as expected, sorry for the ping!

I might see if I can change the plugin to only do what you write in your first point:

• "Set marks that only a apply to a specific project".

So jumping to global marks happens as it does in vanilla NeoVim.

Thank you again for a great plugin and for the quick response. I hope it gains some traction.

Edit 1

Seems like it is a very easy change in the code, so I will just post it here if others stumble upon this. You just have to comment these three lines in projectmarks.lua:

---@param symbol string
local function _jump_with(symbol)
  local mark = vim.fn.nr2char(vim.fn.getchar())
  local command = symbol .. mark

  -- if mark == string.upper(mark) then
  --   command = command .. symbol .. '"'
  -- end
  vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(command, "n", false)
end

An option to disable this jumping, of course, is not in the initial goals of the project, so I do not expect it to be an official change, however...

Edit 2

I have made a local branch for myself with an option to disable the jumping to ".
If you want to have a look at my (very small) commit or use it in the repo, I can publish it as a feature suggestion.
