 * Like I described it in [my review](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/html-editor-syntax-highlighter),
   it would be a huge improvement if the system would preserve the current editing(
   scroll/cursor) position after saving. With such a feature, the plugin would come
   close to perfection.
 * I can see at least two ways in which this could be achieved:
    1. Add a button to the editor, which would save/update the post via AJAX, thus 
       not leaving the page and obviously preserving the editor position. WordPress
       already has this functionality built in; the Auto Save feature uses it. Perhaps
       there’s a way to hook into that.
    2. Another option could be to actually save the position information, retrieve 
       it on the next load, and then scroll to it.
 * Is this something anyone could look into? I truly believe it to be important.
   Thanks again for a great plugin!

 * Bravo! Thank you!!!
 * Now I’m using this plugin, plus the [Save With Keyboard](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/save-with-keyboard/)
   plugin for CTRL-S.
 * All this, combined with a super-snappy hosting server, makes for a much more 
   pleasant editing experience for us heavy users.
 * Thanks again, good work!
