How to change Ctrl+arrow behavior?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 24 October, 2004 - 10:52
In almost every text editor (even in Word), when I press ctrl+arrow, the caret moves to the next word. But jEdit goes to next "side of word". Little example:

Notepad caret stops:
|Strange |cater |behavior |in |jEdit

jEdit caret stops:
|Strange| |caret| |behavior| |in| |jEdit.

How can I change this?

Fair enough, but when it was discussed on the mailing lists a while back the majority of people felt the current behavior was better -- which is why it's the default behavior.

Assign "Go to Next Word (Eat Whitespace)" to C+RIGHT, and "Go to Previous Word (Eat Whitespace)" to C+LEFT.

As an aside, Word is *not* a text editor -- it's a word processor Eye-wink.
