This is particularly annoying with "files.autoSave"

@mjbvz up for debate I would say. Here is what Sublime does:

Here is what editor config extension does:

The latter solves your issue but at first I thought it is a bug that saving results in a selection like that.

Would like to hear more from others before making a move.

I agree with @mjbvz and think this is bad

[bpasero]

@jrieken would you expect the cursor to just stay or do what editorconfig does?
