Editor question/suggestion: ctl-right/left

[ScottMattes]

PLSD 10.0.5

I would like a preference that changes whatever it is that controls the determination of next/prev words.

To me, the next 'word' in a text is whatever follows the space/tab following the current text. So in the following example:

select * from table where col1 = '234';

and starting from column 1, each press of ctl-right would stop at:
*
from
table
where
col1
=
'
234
'
;

As it stands now, PLSD 10.0.5 stops at:
from
table
where
col1
234

and delete previous word seems to do things differently - put your insertion point after the first ' in '234' and press ctl-bksp and the " '" are removed, ctl-bksp again and " =" are removed.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

I have posted similar requests, e.g. How to mark an entire word in the editor

I would also vote for a less intelligent Ctrl- navigation, that would stop at all non-white-space characters. even Notepad does it better, stops at:

select
*
from
table
where
col1
=
'234';
