Q:

How can I advance a page without losing my column position?

I like using Ctrl-f and Ctrl-b to "page-up" and "page-down", but I was wondering if there was a way to do that without losing my current position in a row? For example, I like to work with tab-delimited files and scroll up and down columns.

A:

Simply add set nostartofline to your vimrc.
See :help 'startofline'.
