Yes I have made it as a command.

I guessed that, but I should probably used other words for it :-)


Whenever I run the command TM places the caret on line 2 column 1.
I have recorded a video of the problem, however its impossible to see
what going on.
I make changes to the X and Y values in this command a few times, but the
caret doesn't change.

I have made a ruby script out of it, in hope of turning it into a
Smart Home command.

#! /usr/bin/ruby
cmd = "open 'txmt://open?line=5&column=10'"
system cmd

Example, if I set X to 13 and Y to 20.. then TM jumps to line 2, column 1.


Nevermind. Your command jumps to the beginning of the line, and second
time I hit
Home it jumps to the beginning of the document. I have tried modifying
your command to jump to column=5, but TM jumps to column 1.

if [ $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER -eq 1 ]; then
	open "txmt://open?line=1" &
else
	open "txmt://open?line=$TM_LINE_NUMBER&column=5" &
fi


And changing it so it jumps to line 3.. has no effect too.

if [ $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER -eq 1 ]; then
	open "txmt://open?line=3" &
else
	open "txmt://open?line=$TM_LINE_NUMBER&column=1" &
fi


Nevermind, I don't think we come closer to the Smart Home behavior.
