Jump to the Previous or Next Word

Use Option (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) with the arrow keys to quickly navigate and edit your code. Hit Option–Left (Mac) or Ctrl–Left (Windows) to move the cursor to the previous word. Hit Option–Right (Mac) or Ctrl–Right (Windows) to jump to the next word. This is an operating system feature so it should work in any text editor.
