how to put cursor at the beginning of `tab`

Question

When I open vim help, I press 0 to goto beginning of line;
When I press j to scroll down, the cursor jumps to right 8 spaces when focusing tab
And the cursor jumps back when focusing non-tab
It's not very good for eyes.
Is there an option to let vim focus the beginning of tab to let cursor stay at column 0?

Answer 2

You can achieve this by setting

set virtualedit=all

This lets you position the cursor anywhere in the buffer, even beyond the end of the line and before a tab character. In help virtualedit there is a warning that it might break some scripts or plugins, so use it carefully!
