Goal column macros

Goal column macros (version 20091211) for JEdit (tested with version 4.3pre18).

This macro bundle is inspired by Emacs’ set-goal-column function.

Installation instructions:

1. Unzip the archive in your JEdit settings directory.
2. Optionally, set shortcuts for Set Goal Column, Go to Goal Column of Next Line, Go to Goal Column of Prev Line, and Go to Goal Column of Current Line.

Usage:

• Running Set Goal Column sets the goal column to the current column. (The default goal column is column 1.)
  
• Running Go to Goal Column of Next Line, Go to Goal Column of Prev Line, or Go to Goal Column of Current Line moves the caret to the goal column of the next, previous, or current line, respectively, regardless of the caret position in the current line.
