description
When opening new windows on vim (whether it's splits, location list or quickfix), vim might move the text around in the existing windows in order to keep the cursor positioned within each window view and sometimes centered. This can be annoying as it can distract you from what you're working on.

stable-windows keeps track of each opened window state and restores their positions when the layout changes so you won't notice any movement and it won't distract you.
