Using vim (VI Improved)...

1.) in command mode, m? where { ? | a < ? < Z }
2.) in command mode, '? where mark ? is defined

Don't really use a question mark in the above, the question mark just 
indicates a variable letter.  There's probably some creative vi voodoo for 3 
and 4.  Of course, for serious code editing, the Eclipse IDE is the way to 
go.
