## Description

This plugin makes the right sidebar on post.php pages (where you edit a post) stick
to the top of the screen when you scroll, so all functions of the sidebar stay within
reach. It’s works with the classic version of the editor.

If the total height of the sidebar is larger than the window height, the sidebar
sticks to the bottom instead, so the whole sidebar can be made visible through scroll.

On top of this, when you publish or update a page, the plugin will make the page
scroll down to the previous scroll position.

This saves users from both having to scroll up (because of the stickyness) and having
to scroll down again (using the previous scroll position) every time they update
a post!

## Installation

Just like every plugin:
 * go to plugins * click ‘Add New’ * search for me * install
and activate * enjoy no more unnecessary scrolling!
