Well, yes, if you use the arrow keys (unmodded) and nothing else. But who does that? Even Notepad lets you jump from word to word with CTRL-left/CTRL-right. Sublime Text must have something similar, surely?
- patrickking 9y agoOn OSX, in Sublime Text: - CMD with arrow keys moves to line ends - Alt with arrow keys moves between words - Ctrl, under some circumstances, lets you operate on parts of a camelCased or snake_cased word (with backspace and with shift + arrow keys, but not with arrow keys all by themselves) It's the best setup for moving around code that I've encountered.
- fredsir 9y agoI like vims better to be honest. More granularity, and I can stay on home row instead of moving my hand to and from the arrow keys.
