It looks like fun, but the only downside is that someone like
me can be very forgetful about deleting unnecessary elements
especially when rushing).
You could write a program that accepts the following key as a
dead stroke (nothing onscreen) but use it to control the
program.
For instance, if you could read the cursor position (yes,
inaccurate if a lot of editing is going on but in general
close) at, say, the minus key; the plus key could let you jump
to the position.
And if you expand on that variant, you could add other
keystrokes as well, such as the numerals 1 to 0 for ten
different positions, either setting or going to. Keep the
information in 3-digit SGs to keep it in memory (though it
wouldn't be valid for another file--could check for that,
though); turn off the display while jumping; and there you have
it: a complex mess from a simple one.
