[Feature request] Show note by the end, instead of beginning

[gcoimbra]

I think most of the time we want to start writing in the end of the file. But when we open a file in notekit, it shows the beginning. I think the default behavior should show the end of the file. Ideally, notekit could save the user's position to return to it. But it will be harder to implement, I think.

It wouldn't actually be particularly hard; there already is a mechanism that stores whether you last left a folder opened or closed (via xattrs). However, the xattrs method turned out to be a bit questionable, in that it's largely unportable to non-unixoid filesystems and everything around it gives off a smell of "deprecated machinery kept around for historical reasons". I've therefore been thinking of switching to some different way of maintaining metadata (like, say, a json file in each notes folder). It's probably more economic to add a feature like this after the switch.

That being said, does everyone in fact prefer this? Counterpoint, an advantage of always starting at the top of the file is that you can put some information about the note there (headline, abstract, whatever), and moving to the bottom is easy by pressing ctrl+end anyway. I'm not opposed to making it behave as you suggest, but would like to hear some more input from other people before making it the default.

I didn't know about that shortcut. I agree with you with everything except that the most common is better going to end. Let's have others input!
