Cool.
I have no idea whether this will help or is in any
way really related. Maybe not. But I'll mention
it in case it might be.
Library `find-where.el' defines commands to move
over words that are written vertically:
`fw-downward-word' and `fw-upward-word'. (They're
written mainly as a way of illustrating some of the
library's features.)
They're like `forward-word' and `backward-word',
but they move downward and upward, not across.

More general are commands `fw-to-next-where-vertical'
and `fw-to-previous-where-vertical'. They move to
the first buffer position directly below/above point
where a given predicate is true. They prompt you for
the predicate.
