Is it possible to jump to a mark at the exact same position in the
line as when the mark was set? When I jump to a mark I always get back
to the first character of the line.

Let's say you have set the x mark using the mx command. To go back to the exact same cursor location, use `x (where ` is a backtick, i.e. something more or less like a grave accent with no letter under it: 0x60), not an apostrophe. Using 'x (with an apostrophe, 0x27) would bring you back to the first nonblank on the same line instead. `x (with backtick) is a characterwise motion, 'x (with apostrophe) is linewise.


Even '< described as "To the first character of the last selected
Visual area in the current buffer" puts me at the start of the line.

Thanks

Here too, `< (with backtick) goes characterwise to the start of the (latest) visual area while '< (with apostrophe) goes linewise to the first nonblank in the same line.

See ":help mark-motions".


Best regards,
Tony.
