Does "g^" do what you want? That should put the cursor on the first
non-whitespace char in the buffer.

Hi, Everyone,
I have a quick question with respect to navigating screens buffer.
Basically I work with embedded systems and often have to block and copy more
than a single screens worth of text to the
buffer to attach to tickets or send to customers, etc. I'd like to be
able to copy and paste this text using the screen's native capabilities.
My problem is that when I enter the buffer and type "g" to go to the top, it
actually goes to the top of the buffer, not to the first non-whitespace character in the
buffer". I basically
want to copy the entire buffer starting with the first non-whitespace
character. Is there a way to navigate to the first non-whitespace character in
the buffer, or am I best just copying
the entire buffer and figuring out how to strip out the leading
whitespace later?
Thanks,
Dan
