Any characters at the beginning of a line in front of a letter or space considered a word when moving word by word to the right

Issue: any characters at the beginning of a line in front of a letter or space considered a word when moving word by word to the right.
When moving from the right to the left it works properly. This is inconsistent, and wrong when moving to the right.

The -- at the beginning of a line in some SQL dialects constitute a comment, when navigating them word by word to the right the cursor jumps too far. The same is for comments in bash/Python, etc. ##

Test it with the following set on a per line basis by moving with Ctrl-Right Arrow and then Ctrl-Left Arrow

------ test test
#### test test
--- test --- test --- test test
$$ test test
test --- test
-- t test
--t- test test

Ctrl+Right is the hotkey of the command 'go to word end'. we have other word-jump command(s) which may help you. if you remap Ctrl+Right to them (F9 in the Command Palette).

Pls see

Does it help?

[ArthurZ]

Ctrl-Right skips chars and spaces so not ideal and not aligned with the other IDEs.
Go to Next Word is not mapped to any key, too hard to use from the palette, and the palette does not allow quick key mapping - but would be so nice to remap.

and the palette does not allow quick key mapping - but would be so nice to remap.

but it does! in Command Palette, focus needed cmd, press F9. set the hotkey. app will ask to overwrite ctrl+Right of old cmd.

Hotkeys config

File "settings/keys.json". Special dialog allows to change all hotkeys in CudaText. You should not edit this config file. Dialog is called from "Help / Command palette" by F9. Dialog allows to set primary+secondary hotkeys for any command (except dynamically added commands which, for example, change current lexer).
