How would you specify it? You may use function `goto-char' as linear movement. You could as well use `goto-line' and then (goto-char (point-at-bol)) and after `forward-char' to go to some column of the text, this reminds me as coordinate with X and Y. (defun goto-x-y (x y) "Goto to line X, char Y."
