command-left and command-right feel slow

I use them a lot to move between words and they make the "Movement" menu bar flicker and feel like they take much longer than I would expect them to on OS X.

I also think you meant alt-left and alt-right (not cmd-left and cmd-right). But you're right, they do feel slow. I think it is because it is treating spaces as word boundaries and the default OS X behavior doesn't do this. Once that is fixed it should 'feel' much faster.

The word boundary thing is deliberate. There is another word boundary command you can use instead of the default if you want: editor:move-to-beginning-of-word and editor:move-to-beginning-of-next-word. I dont want to change the current word boundary behavior.

Someday in the distant future (like not any time soon), a nice interface for configuring word boundary behavior could be a nice-to-have.

Apparently I was using a different key than I thought I was. You're right it is alt-left and alt-right.

[probablycorey]

@benogle do you think the behavior of alt-left and alt-right should match to default behavior of OS X, Sublime and Textmate? Or should it behave as it does now?
