Description Randy Hudson CLA 2005-05-25 10:28:39 EDT 
ALT+LEFT should be previous word.  COMMAND+LEFT should be equivalent to HOME.  
similar for RIGHT.

bug 95950 is another manifestation.
Comment 1 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2005-05-26 11:38:09 EDT 
COMMAND+ARROW_LEFT  => line start (visual start in case of wrapped line)
COMMAND+ARROW_RIGHT => line end (visual end in case of wrapped line)
COMMAND+ARROW_UP    => document start
COMMAND+ARROW_DOWN  => document end
ALT+ARROW_LEFT  => previous word
ALT+ARROW_RIGHT => next word
(ALT+ARROW_UP    => line start (logical start in case of wrapped line))
(ALT+ARROW_DOWN  => line end (logical start in case of wrapped line))

StyledText only has one notion of 'line start' doesn't matter if the line 
wraps or not. Therefore I won't add binding to ALT+ARROW_UP and ALT+ARROW_DOWN 
to StyledText.

I've the code ready to be released for RC1 but if I release it and nobody else 
does it we gonna break carbon-eclipse.

I'm not sure these look right.  At the very least, "Command+Right" is reserved
for changing keyboard layouts.

Please see

Who cares. The native Text control uses Command+Right, Safari uses it, and so 
does Eclipse 3.0. Obviously changing Roman scripts or whatever is not something 
that a normal Mac user does.

FH, HOME and END will continiue to work too, right?

Not sure what to do about HOME and END keys, do you want keep the current 
behaviour (line start, line end)? In native behaviour is: home - scroll left; 
end - scroll right. But I don't have these in ST.

I think HOME == CTRL+HOME on win32, END = CTRL+END on win32. The scroll 
behavior depends on whether you have MULTI/WRAP set, it seems.
