Added a well deserved reward bounty to a Mac question -- I had no idea Macs DO NOT allow you to move word by word with keyboard shortcuts out of the box! https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/52147/control-arrow-key-to-jump-to-the-next-word

@listrophy what the fuck is "OPTION"? Do you mean CTRL, ALT, or SHIFT?
Show threadLeonMar 7
@codinghorror @listrophy depends on your mapping. Alt, usually.

@codinghorror basically ALT. On a Mac keyboard, it’s sometimes the silhouette of an italicized, capital T

@codinghorror @listrophy here's what Apple call the modifier keys. No "alt" among them :)

(But Globe is a stupid name, that one can get in the sea.)

@codinghorror @listrophy Not covering yourself in glory here, Jeff. Macs have had option keys since day one.

@u47 @listrophy electrons are overrated
