title: Getting to nth character from beginning of line in Emacs
body: <p>I recently started using <strong><em>emacs</em></strong> for writing my programs codes. I was wondering if there was a "command" to get to the nth character <strong>directly</strong> from the beginning of the line without using any tricks (like repeat n times  <code>C-f</code>). I briefly went through the emacs manual but didn't find anything.</p>
