If you're using Emacs 24 you can install quarter-plane.el through the GNU ELPA. This uses picture mode to automatically insert spaces so that you can move anywhere in the full quarter plane. I tried it and I don't like it, but YMMV. One problem is that it pollutes the undo space, but I can't believe you can't work around that somehow by fiddling with `buffer-undo-list'. Looking at quarter-plane mode, it seems like the magic that you want could probably be done by rebinding your movement keys to `picture-move-up' and `picture-move-down' or writing similar functions. Personally, I detest trailing whitespace—I can't abide hitting C-e and it not going where I expect. It also doesn't bother me to have the cursor jump back to column 0, but it might help that I have the whole line highlighted. -Ivan -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
