You can use `C-u 79 C-f' and `C-u 79 C-b' for example if you are
working in an 80 columns terminal.

Or you can define 2 new functions and 2 new keybindings in your
~/.emacs to do it.

The functions will look like

(defun forward-79-chars ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-char 79))

(defun backward-79-chars ()
  (interactive)
  (backward-char 79))
