This could be very useful in any textbox, renames particularly.
cursor jump positions

Code: Select all

Yes, but also the letter case changes should be considered as a new word, not only the space, "-" etc. I could indeed use this too.

Just for the record (and searches), maybe the correct wording is "CamelCase navigation" as found in most IDEs.

CamelCase would make more sense, yes.

Ooh wonder why I did not see this wish thread. Add me to it! Though Don already seems interested but I want to join the party anyways.
