I have a feature request for GNU Emacs: In Emacs, when using the command
forward-word, with the keyboard shortcut M-F, I understand that Emacs
places point just after the end of the current word, pointing at the
beginning of a non-letter sequence. And the command backward-word, with
the keyboard shortcut M-B, places point at the beginning of the current
word, or if it is already at the beginning of a word, it places point at
the beginning of the previous word.
I would like if those two commands, forward-word and backward-word, had
identical results, i.e. so that the command forward-word would instead
place point at the beginning of the next word, just as the command
backward-word places the point at the beginning of a word.
Has this issue ever been discussed?
In Microsoft Windows, when you edit a text and you move forward one word
with Ctrl-ArrowRight, the cursor is placed at the beginning of a word.
It makes more sense, I think. Not that MS Windows is a great operating
system. It sucks, actually.
I am not subscribed to the bug-gnu-emacs mailing list, so would someone
send a reply to my e-mail address?
