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?
