Check out this solution/interface to another problem. This function has a state, that can change, but it uses properties so there is no global variable. You use it by invoking it (I have it `C-c j'), if you want to set a new column to which text should be aligned, you just move there and do `C-u C-c j', this changes the state so the next time it is invoked that column is the reference... Pretty cool, if I may... Did anyone else do that or do I get to name it? Nah, probably many people did it... But it is still cool! :) (defun pad-to-col (&optional set-new-col) (interactive "p") (let*((plist (symbol-plist #'pad-to-col)) (prop 'pad-col) (pad-col (or (plist-get plist prop) 0)) (beg-col (or (current-column) 4)) ) (if (and set-new-col (= 4 set-new-col)) (progn (plist-put plist prop beg-col) (message "pad col set: %s" beg-col) ) (let ((step (- pad-col beg-col))) (when (> step 0) (insert (make-string step ?\s)) (forward-line 1) (forward-char beg-col) ))))) https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/align-new.el -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
