There’s a two-by-two of start-end order and word-space order for movement commands:
- b:
end word space start
- e:
start space word end
- w:
start word space end
- Alt-fSpace:
end space word start
But the end space word start
command needs three keypresses instead of one. I’m guessing somebody has studied this issue and decided this is right given e.g. the relative frequencies of these operations.
I’m curious what is known about this issue and what design considerations led to the decision. Thanks!
