Hi,
first, I want to thank you for the enhanced cursor movement when using ctrl-left and ctrl-right, skipping over underscores.
Now the request:
Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right should also read over spaces, in other words skip spaces.
For example, DBVis should use only 4 strokes of Ctrl-Right to go through the following example sentence from left to right:
select * from table
having stops only at s, *, f and t
Currently, it takes 7 keystrokes!
1. Bug: If the last characters in a line are spaces, hitting the "End" key repeatedly will switch the cursor position between the end of the last word and the end of the line.
2. It seems to be a bug that it needs *two* times hitting the "Del" key at the end of line 1 to (delete the CRLF and) connect line 2 to the end of line 1?
3. There is also a bug hitting ctrl-left at position 2:1 (next line). It will sometimes place the cursor at the *second last* character of line-1 (the e of table), but I can't reproduce it right now.
Regards,
Freewater

You're right. I have fixed this so it works as it did in 7.1.x. It will be included in the next EA.

Same here. I have fixed this so it works as it did in 7.1.x. It will be included in the next EA.

These two appear to be bugs in the third party editor component. I will get in touch with the vendor next week to try to get it fixed.
Thanks for testing and reporting these.
