So you start using Emacs and you actually loved it. But if you always use C-<left>
C-<right>
and C-<backspace>
you might have noticed that it works not like you expect. Instead of moving to the next separator
it moves to the next word
(it is bound to forward-word
and backward-word
).
You can see the difference at these gifs:
Put proper-cursor-move-mode.el
to your .emacs.d
directory.
Add this line to your .emacs
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
(require 'proper-cursor-move-mode)
Use M-x proper-cursor-move-mode
to enable proper cursor move mode in current buffer.
Or you can enable it globally by using M-x proper-cursor-global-mode
