Hello !


  Pretty much what the subject line says.  Is there a way, from a given cursor position, to have spaces inserted automatically until a specific column is reached ?  And to have this executing at the press of a key ?


Thanks !

`indent-to' would seem to be the function you're looking for.
As for a command that does that, you could use tab-to-tab-stop and set
tab-stop-list list accordingly.
