   random question: does anyone have a command to move point to end of code line, ignoring comments that may follow? or if in a comment, go back to last code character before the comment?

     @mousebot I thought about it for a little bit and I wonder if comment-kill almost does this.

     @mousebot I think I am right that comment-kill is the thing that contains the low level code that "does this".

     @mousebot the fact that comment-kill implements this makes me think that there isn't a lower level implementation of doing this. So you would build something on top of comment-kill or use mekeor's thing.

     @screwtape i don't want to kill anything, just move point (to end of code/before begin of comment)

     @mousebot well if you have killed the comment you could (end-of-line), but yeah, looking forward to hearing how you progress ;p

     @screwtape ah gotcha, thanks. i pulled out the relevant code and tried it out. it works if point in code, not if point in comment. might hack sth from it tho. i was hoping not to have to switch to a whole new movement system (even if its better!).

     (actually i feel like there's a stack of exacs cmds that should ignore comments or smartly handle them...)
