Pop back after grabbing

[trev-dev]

I just realized that when I do something crazy like "select a whole buffer" and grab it to perform some beacon operation, I have to find what I meant to change all over again.

Is it a reasonable idea to suggest that we remember the cursor's last position after an "inside-of-thing" or even any other motion, then when we grab, we pop back to where we started that motion from?

This way when I'm trying to magically change 40 lousy alt="" attributes in an old HTML file, I don't have to re-find my starting point.

I think it could be a bug.

select, grab, pop, pop should take you back to the original position.
Current once the selection is canceled, (grab will cancel the selection) the selection history is flushed. I think it's better to keep it.
The downside is you will need two commands for pop grab and pop selection.

I see. When I get a chance I will attempt to reproduce this with a clean environment. That is, assuming you are not able to reproduce this?

Ah, sorry. I think I misunderstood your idea. Well, now it's not supported.
Your original position before motion is not saved at the moment.
