As a Haiku native keymap user, that would work for me.
However, "switchers" will suddenly find that their word-jumping with
their accustomed command-key wouldn't work, if there's a cursor-
shortcut in that app. I'm not sure everyone will get that in such cases
they have to use the control+cursor key instead...
There's just no way around it: Either it's a complete switch CMD<->CTRL
with word-jumping switching too, or it's an inconsistency for switchers
where a few apps will use the control-key for it instead of their
accustomed command-key.
