Ok, let me explain better. On 4.2.x (Mac OS X 10.5.8): - ctrl+arrow = jump between words - ctrl+shift+arrow = select up to the next word On 5.8 (Mac OS X 10.5.8): - ctrl+arrow = nothing happens - ctrl+shift+arrow = nothing happens I only mentioned regular Mac widgets for reference.

Ok, you are mixing two issues here
(a) I need to make the 5.8 behaviour the same as the 4.2.x VM behaviour.
(b) Once we have the same behaviour then you are welcome to propose changing the smalltalk text editor code to make the cursor and word selection dance however you or the community would like it to...

Ahh, I see.
I expect it to jump between words. On regular Mac applications, you get this behavior by pressing alt-arrow.
And when I press shift-ctrl-arrow, I expect it to select up to the end of the word. On regular Mac applications, you get this behavior by pressing alt-shift-arrow.
Of course, I would not mind if instead of ctrl we would have alt :).
