Navigating Text in Editor

[SliverNinja]

Does anyone know how to navigate between words in PL/SQL Developer without using the mouse or holding down the arrow key forever? I can use control and left or right arrow in any other program but this to quickly move to where I need to place my text edits. I tend to do my edits in another program, then paste them back into SQL Developer. Does anyone know of a faster way to navigate between words in the text editor without involving the use of the mouse for speed?

Best Regards,

I found this solution from a previous post...
You will need to go to Tools > Preferences > Key configuration and assign the correct keys to Editor: Word Left and Editor: Word Right. These keys are cleared as the result of an upgrade bug.

This works, except it doesn't just skip by a space, rather it navigates only between alphanumeric characters. I think it would be nice to navigate between all spaces so that you have more control over what you want to change.

Hy,

this was an earlier topic too ;-)
And i hope it on the enhancement list, too.
