Thanks, this might come in useful at some point.
That said, on Windows and in Linux this is extremely much simpler and more consistent, I can write it down right here and now, it doesn't need a full web page:
arrow keys: move
ctrl + arrow left/right: move left/right to next word boundary.
shift + arrow left/right: select a character to the left/right.
ctrl + shift + arrow left/right: select to next word boundary.

- 867-5309 5y agoexcept at some terminals, when ctrl+arrow doesn't work, or prints a weird character, so you try alt+arrow and it does work. then you're using alt+arrow for so long you go to another terminal, use it, and end up switching to another tty session, the same as you had learnt for ctrl+alt+F2. your brain pauses for 5 seconds, you try and get back with ctrl+alt+F1, which does nothing here. then you capsize bare metal and revert back to a VM within your childhood OS to emotionally distance yourself from the shapeshifting nightmare of linux key bindings, install the latest guest additions, accidentally press ctrl+alt+down at a loading screen out of underwhelmed boredom, now your screen within a screen is downside-up. you then short circuit your $300 keyboard with tears, before briefly dismissing reconsidering your life choices
- BlackFingolfin 5y agoReplace ctrl by alt and that's macOS hotkeys. Except there are a ton more which one can use (but of course doesn't have to use)
