hi,

is there a way to move the cursor straight up or down regardless of
whether or not the previous or next line extends to that point, rather
than having the cursor jump to the end of the line if it is shorter?

This probably sounds trivial, but it was a nice feature in brief
because it made it was easier on "these old eyes", as well as when
trying to line up columns when making rectangles.


thanks,
