Are you shure? I've this function.

% grep bskip_wh /usr/share/jed/lib/site.sl  
%{{{ bskip_white ()
%\function{bskip_white}
%\synopsis{bskip_white}
%\usage{Void bskip_white ();}
define bskip_white ()

What's on the right hand side of " "? If you are in a line like this
"foo    bar" and looking at "bar", the cursor should be moved to 'o'.

Add \n to the characters they should not be skipped.

No.

AFAIK it's planed, but not for the near future.

Have a nice day, Jörg.
