Remember where the user left off #8699

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use the text editor to create long-running todo lists for projects. I keep them open in tabs on my laptop for planning and I open them in the NextCloud app on my phone to check things off as I do them (and to make small edits/additions "in the field").

The problem is: when the app requires a "reconnect" (which effectively happens every time I open it), it jumps you back up to the top of the document. I then have to scroll all the way down the todo list to pick up where I left off.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if the text editor remembered where the user's cursor was in a given session, and then bring them back to that position when they reconnect.

Ideally this would be device-specific, not user-specific, so that the same user can have the same document open in multiple devices in different cursor positions (eg: at the end of a todo list on my desktop, in the middle of a todo list on my phone). I imagine that means the position would be stored locally in the client, rather than on the server, so each device can maintain its own "memory" of where it left off.

I searched the queue for existing issues, but couldn't find one - although the terminology is a bit subjective, so I may have missed one. Feel free to close this if an issue already exists.
