Is perhaps set-goal-column what you're looking for?

Hi,
would like to keep the column at start when C-p resp. C-n
Tweaking previous-line?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hallo Eli,
sorry, don't understand your answer. Cursor travels goal-column of EOL
if shorter.

And what did you want it to do instead? There's no text beyond EOL.
(Your OP didn't mention EOL at all.)

As goal-column is used otherwise too, seems not recommendable to change
it WRT a vertical move.
AFAIU a tweak must keep the original value and restore it after move.

There's temporary-goal-column as well.
(Not that I understand how this is related to the original question,
since vertical motion tries to keep the column by default.)

Here it travels goal-column, when set.
Keeps column when goal-column is nil.
Looks like a bug.

There was a typo, please read: travels goal-column or EOL.
EOL makes sense at empty lines. It also would make sense when line is
shorter than column-at-start.
OTOH goal-colum seems unrelated to vertical move.

No, it's a feature (assuming I understood what you are complaining
about; sorry if I didn't).

Thought at something like that:
(defun ar-previous-line (arg)
"Moving ARG upwards.
Keep the column if possible. "
(interactive "^p")
(unless (bobp)
(let ((col
(if
(eq last-command 'ar-previous-line)
ar-vertical-move-start-column
(setq ar-vertical-move-start-column (current-column)))))
(previous-line arg arg)
(when (< col (save-excursion (end-of-line) (current-column)))
(move-to-column col)))))
