    Evil-mode/Vim provide nothing special for that. The only exception that comes to mind are the find-char/find-char-to commands which jump to or up-to a particular character in your line. But there is a single-file Emacs package called jump-char which provides this exact functionality and doesn't require you to switch between a "normal" mode and an "insert" mode to do it.
