Re: Some additional cursor moves



Eric Van Tassel asks whether he is "the only person who has
found that
Ctl+right/left arrow, though indispensable, can be
inconvenient when you
want not the next/previous word but the space/punctuation
*before* the
next/previous word?"

Not at all. I have assigned the same key sequence he uses to
the ctrl-shift right and left arrows. They are among the
customized keys that I use most of all when editing. It is
surprising how much time they save if you want to add an
"apostophe s" or change "negotiate" to "negotiating."

Cheers,
