Though neither BBEdit 9 or 10 have such a command built-in, you can do this
via AppleScript.
As a quick example, use the AppleScript Editor to compile the following:
===
tell application "BBEdit"
display dialog "Character position:" default answer 1 buttons ¬
{"Cancel", "Go to"} default button 2
set cPosition to (text returned of result) as number
select insertion point before character cPosition of text window 1
end tell
====
then save the resulting script into the "Scripts" folder of BBEdit's app
support folder and assign a key shortcut to it via the Scripts palette (or
in BBEdit 10, the Menus & Shortcuts preference panel).
