I can work faster if I don't have to lift my fingers out of their "home" positions. To get to the arrow keys, I have to lift my fingers, look down at the keyboard, and re-place my fingers. I'm finding using the emacs keys much more comfortable and quick.
Learning a whole set of key commands does take some time, but when you spend eight hours a day slinging text, is well worth it, I think.

I am totally failing to understand why the usual Opt-arrow keys aren't acceptable for you... is there some advantage to having to learn a whole bunch of new key commands? maybe I'm just missing the point.
BUT - now that I think about it - there is one issue that I'd like to know about. why is it that in TM (and in TM only) the Cmd-arrow keys aren't bound to the end-of-line functionality?

Now, how would I go about selecting text while using these? -m-

Hi
Maybe this helps
ctrl+f moves cursor one character forward ctrl+b .. and backward
(hold alt/option to skip by word)
ctrl+a beginning of line ctrl+e .. and end of line
ctrl+n move to next line ctrl+p .. and to previous
Cheers,

I've realized I waste many precious milliseconds lifting my fingers up from their homes over to the arrow keys. Is there a key combination which will move the cursor left and right for me? How would I go about setting one up? thanks, -Morgan
