Try this:

tell front document
set _chars to characters of (get contents of line _line)
set _i to 0
repeat with _c in _chars
set _i to _i + 1
if _c is not in {space, tab} then
select insertion point before character _i of line _line

Move to beginning of line after whitespace
I'm trying to write an applescript that emulates vim's go to first
non-whitespace character on the line.
I'm also building it to be smart about skipping lists (since most of my
writing is prose).
The problem is that it seems like the find operation triggers before the
keystroke. Is there a simple way to tell BBEdit to do one at a time and
wait for the previous to finish before triggering the next?
*tell* *application* BBEdit
*tell* *application* System Events
*keystroke* a using control down
*end* *tell*
*try*
*find* ([^ \\t\\*\\-\\•\\d\\.]) searching in *text* *of* *front* *text
window* options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false,
backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:
false} *with* selecting match
*end* *try*
*end* *tell*
*
*
Thanks!

Hey Oliver,
No need for System Events - BBEdit can do it.

try

select insertion point before character 1 of line
(startLine of selection)
find ([^ \\-\\t\\d*•.]) options {search mode:grep,

Re: Move to beginning of line after whitespace
I wrote a script a while back based on discussions here that do this,
though I'm not sure about the behavior you mention about lists. That part
wasn't clear to me, though I might have an idea. The script goes to the
first non-whitespace character on first execution. If done a second time
(or you're already at the first non-white) then it will go to the true
first position.
