Is there a keyboard shortcut to position the text cursor just after

sometimes want to do this to insert a new opening square bracket

I've been using Control-A followed by zero or more Control-F's to
skip over the leading tabs. But in my home code, I use leading
spaces, and this gets tedious.
I think there are 2 ways:
1. Assuming that your Tab key is bound to the "Indent Friendly Insert
Tab" function, it's a 2-key sequence: press Tab, press Backspace.
(Hmm. Maybe one Backspace isn't enough if you're expanding tabs to
spaces.)
2. If you bind a key to the "Indent Selection" function, it's a 1-key
sequence (I use Command-\). Of course, that will also re-indent the
current line if it's misaligned, which may or may not be desirable.
