Marks are very buggy in dirvish buffers #210

They seem to move around on their own. That being said, I'm not sure a plugin like this should be working with marks in the first place - but it would be very nice to be able to mark files, directories etc as a kind of vim-style bookmark system.

Steps to reproduce:

Open dirvish
Place a mark on some file, eg. by typing mM
Browse around for a bit and head back to the directory where your mark is at
The mark is now somewhere else, usually on the first line of the directory listing

yeah, global marks kinda work but have the issue (at least) you mentioned. Would love it if they were more stable, but only willing to do this if there's a way to preserve them in bulk. Having tons of code trying to save/restore every mark is not an option.

In particular there's probably way to make this not horrible if 'hidden' is set or with shada/viminfo.

Ideas

avoid rewriting the buffer if the directory contents didn't change.
