Is it possible to :e a buffer in vim without having the scrolling adjusted?
The behavior I see: the file is reloaded followed by a zz (redraw with line count at center of window). I'd like to just reload the file.

The anwolib plugin has a :KeepView command that modifies any Ex command to keep the current window layout. You can then use
:KeepView edit!
to reload while keeping the current view.
Alternatively, you can implement this yourself using winsaveview() and winrestview().

zzor:eto mark your position, run the original command then and then return to that spot. But, that's ugly and I would hope there is a better way to solve this.
