I would like to execute 'zz' to center the current line to the center of the screen when opening a new file. I have tried the following, but it does not seem to be working for some reason:

autocmd BufEnter * :normal zz

Any ideas?

    Leaving aside that you should use augroup, BufReadPost and normal!, it actually does work. But zz is no-op if the current line number is too small.

    Repeating what Matt said but in different terms (which may or may not help): zz will not do anything if centering the current line would result in a margin (empty space) at the top of the buffer.
