Mac OS X: Moving the cursor word by word
Tuesday Jan 20, 2009
Tired of testing of <ctrl><alt><cmd> with the left or right arrow key to find out how to move the cursor word by word for moving the input mark or for extending the character selection?
Maybe the small table below is a useful word-by-word and beginning/end of line movement reminder for you when working with Mac OS X:
| Application | Version | move cursor w/w |
change selection w/w |
move cursor b/eol |
change selection b/eol |
