Cursor movement by a word

Brainstorm
1

Hello KDE community,

In Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code moving cursor with Ctrl-Right puts it behind the word. For example, if cursor is just before bbb using Ctrl-Right will put it behind bbb, Kate 24.08.3 puts it before ccc:

aaaaaa      bbb         ccc
aaa             bbb     ccc
aaaaaa      bbb         ccc

By splitting selection to multiple lines Sublime Text like motion makes it possible to select empty space between bbb and ccc by using Ctrl-Shift-Left and Ctrl-Shift-Right.

This is a good post, but it should not be only for Kate, it should be for everything, so that behaviour is consistent.

You might find that they get more attention if you file the separate features as separate issues. I understand that these two things go together in your example use-case, but in code, they’re probably entirely unrelated.
