Up until a few days ago I've used ctl-rightArrow to move to the end of the current line in TextMate, and shift-ctl-rightArrow to extend the selection to the end of line. Now it seems those commands move to/ select the next word, and are the same as opt-rightArrow and shift- opt-rightArrow respectively.
It's entirely possible that I changed something on my end, but I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this? I'm using TextMate 1.5.3 (1258), and this started happening about two cutting-edge versions ago.
FWIW, ctl-rightArrow (and shift version) still work the way they should in my other programs like Mail.app and TextEdit. It's only in TextMate that they act weird.

Hi Dave,
to get to the end of the line, cmd + rightArrow should be the default (cross-application) key command. ctrl + left/right arrows is for subWord navigation, (can be used with CamelCasedWords or words_using_underscores). This is also XCode's default behavior.
ctrl + left/right arrow: subWord navigation opt + left/right arrow : word navigation cmd + left/right arrow: begin/end line navigation

For me, ctrl + left/right arrow does the same thing as cmd + left/right arrow (move to the beginning or the end of the current line). Any idea why?
I'm using TextMate 1.5.3, but it's been the same in the previous versions I remember trying it in (all 1.5.x).

I'm using TextMate 1.5.3 [...]
Would that be 1.5.3 (r1258) available only by switching software update checks to “Cutting Edge” in system preferences?

I see the same thing with 1.5.3 [1215].
The same change to control-arrow behavior came to Xcode when I installed Xcode 2.2 (or maybe 2.3). I wonder if Xcode, or some other "helpful" program changed the meaning to the Windows Standard globally.
I'm looking at you, Office.

Mine is 1.5.3 [1215] also.

Ctrl-arrow still works correctly for me in XCode 2.3. I installed XCode 2.2 (maybe even 2.3) before I ever tried TextMate, so I have no way of knowing if that could be the reason for ctrl-arrow not working correctly in TextMate.

After some digging I figured out why shift-ctl-rightArrow would no longer select to the end of line; TextMate's KeyBindings were messed up in recent cutting-edge releases.
First I tried following the instructions in this article to override key bindings, but it didn't work for some reason: http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/07/05/key-bindings-for- switchers/
Then I figured that TextMate had its own KeyBindings file, and sure enough if you right-click TextMate's application icon and Show Package Contents, you can edit this file (drag it onto TextMate): /Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict
Replace the bindings for shift-ctl-arrows (^$\UF702 and ^$\U703) with these lines:
"^$\UF702" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* ctrl- shift-left arrow */ "^$\UF703" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* ctrl-shift- right arrow */
Save changes, relaunch TextMate, and shift-ctl-arrows work as they did before! No longer with shift-ctl-arrows be the same as shift-opt- arrows!
Hope this saves somebody else some grief,

From the release notes:
[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.
So the key bindings were not “messed up”, they were deliberately changed. And while it generally would appear as they do the same as ⌥ (⇧)→ and ⌥(⇧)←, they also visit “sub word boundaries”.
[ctrl] + [left/right arrow] to go to the begining/end of a line aren't working either in the cutting edge version. It works in the release 1215.

Hi,
[ctrl] + [left/right arrow] to go to the begining/end of a line aren't working either in the cutting edge version. It works in the release 1215.
[ctrl] + [left/right arrow] now jumps between words -- words defined by 'traditional' word boundaries (space/punctuation) as well as "programming words" a lá space_case and camelCase
[cmd] + [left/right arrow] jumps you around beginning/end of line ...
For the record, that all works for me as intended: Version 1.5.3 (1258)
