[TxMt] weird glitch - apple & option/control keys not working as expected?

[Chris Sternal-Johnson]

That's my point - the movement commands used to be the OSX standard,
but now they've changed.  I'm aware of what the various combinations
do, I'm asking why they changed all of a sudden, and how I can change
them back to the way they used to work.  Control+Arrow used to move to
the beginning or the end of the line, and still does in every other
app on my system.

I'd rather not have to un-learn the key combinations and learn the new
ones, as I've gotten quite used to the way it used to work - it's more
muscle memory than conscious action by now!

Cheers,

command + left-right arrow: beginning-end of line
option + left-right arrow: moving by word
ctrl + left-right arrow: Subword movement

Subword movement works by stopping at every capital letter within the
word, as well as at underscores. Try it with:

thisIsCool

and with

this_is_cool
