This is an interesting problem... does anyone know how to set up a  
macro to make a decision based on a condition?

Or maybe how to achieve this as a command rather than a macro?

So far what I've thought up: Do the macro as before, and then cmd- 
shift-left. From there pressing left will home to the beginning of  
the line, pressing right will home to the beginning of the text. Also  
on the first step instead of moving to the beginning of the line,  
again cmd-shift-left, and copy to clipboard. This will give you  
something to compare to for the last step, if they're the same, then  
press right. If they're different, press left... I don't see how this  
can happen in a macro though.

For a command is it possible to find the current column location of  
the cursor? also is it possible to move the cursor around without  
affecting any of the text? (or at least perceivably not affecting any  
of the text)...

Just had another idea for a macro... Not 100% sure this can work,  
but... can you have a 'search for text in clipboard' or something  
equivalent? then we can search for
[^ \t]|^*pasted text*
where *pasted text* is the current word (or cmd-opt-shift-left)...  
That way it will jump to the first non-space character (beginning of  
text), unless the only thing to the left of the cursor are non-space  
characters, in which case it will jump to the beginning of the line  
(based on the greedy nature of regexps)?
