Keep the reading position in the file after toggling reading/preview mode

Use case or problem

E.g. we’re reading a note and we find we want to add/change something. If we toggle to the editable view, the reading position returns to the top of the file and we have to scroll/search for the previous position.

Proposed solution

The reading position should be preserved, as much as possible, after toggling preview/reading mode. Perhaps this should even be the default behavior?

A huge +1 from me on this! It is highly disorienting and should be easy to fix.

Also, I believe this is the same as this issue: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/document-position-moves-when-switching-from-reading-view-to-editing-view/33080/8
