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!

Hey fellow Texmaters,
I've run into a strange glitch - I must have done something to cause it, but I can't for the life of me figure out what.
I use the Apple & Option/Control keys to move around a lot, but somehow they've become switched around, and only in Textmate. All other apps work right - Option+Arrow moves one word, Control+Arrow moves to the beginning or end of the line - but in Textmate the Apple key moves to the beginning or end of the line and the Option+Control keys both move a single word at a time.
Any idea why?
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
