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

Command+Arrow moves to the beginning or end of the line system wide as well. Best, Mark
Chris,
Yes it did change see the change log in the Release Notes under the Help menu: [2006-09-09: REVISION 1244] [CHANGED] The sub_word movement functions now also do CamelCase in addition to underscore_words. The default key bindings for these functions (move, select, and delete) have been changed to only use control as modifier (previously control + option was required) -- ticket 11746E04.
But this is the standard behaviour for any Text/Code editor. Go ahead and take a look at Apple's Xcode same behaviour.
Also Command+arrow has always been the standard way to move to the beginning and ed of every line, and that still works as expected. Also Option+arrow still works as expected allowing you to move word to word. The only thing that changed is control+arrow and this is for the best, as it is now standard with other editors, and give the user more control over cursor movement than before.
Anyway, you'll get used to it fairly quickly don't worry!
