Hi.
When a user save the snippet the page is reload and developer is confused and need to find the point that he was...

I have write some code to scroll down to the point that screen was.
Do you want to share the code with you to add it in your plugin?
I think this is an essential functionallity for developers

The code is the following.
I would appreciate very much if you make me a contributor in your plugin in Wordpress repository

add_action("admin_footer", function (){

    //I keep the scroll position in a cookie based in ID of page, so this feature is
    //Only for already posted snippets because new post/snippets has not yet an ID
    if( get_post_type()=="wbcr-snippets" && $GLOBALS['pagenow']=='post.php' ){
        
        echo '
        <script>
            
            function getCookie(name){
                var pattern = RegExp(name + "=.[^;]*")
                var matched = document.cookie.match(pattern)
                if(matched){
                    var cookie = matched[0].split("=")
                    return cookie[1]
                }
                return false
            }
            
        
            window.onload = function pexlechris_woody(){
            
                var publish=document.getElementById("publish");
                if(publish!==null){
                    publish.onclick = function() {
                        var d = new Date();
                        d.setTime(d.getTime() + (20*60*1000));
                        var expires = "expires="+ d.toUTCString();
                        document.cookie = "WoodyScrollCookie'.get_the_ID().'=" + window.scrollY + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
                        //Here I keep the scroll position in a cookie, I could not find a more easy and good way to keep this information
                    };
                }

                
                window.scroll({
                    top: getCookie("WoodyScrollCookie'.get_the_ID().'"),
                    left: 0,
                    behavior: "auto"
                });
            }
        </script>
        ';
    }
},20);
