You give no reason whatsoever for your proposal, other than that something
annoys you.

I, for one, am not annoyed by up/down, n/p, and C-n/C-p staying at the beginning
of file names.  Quite the contrary.  What is your problem?

If I ever needed to move point vertically in another column, I would just turn
on `wdired' on for the duration.  (You might want to bind `wdired' to a key, to
help you deal with your annoyance.)  But frankly, though I use Dired a lot, I
never seem to have a need to do that.
