Comment (by humdinger):

Replying to [comment:13 jscipione]:

As far as Mail goes I guess that is my fault. I thought Cmd+' (quote)

would be an intuitive shortcut for quoting. I'm not sure that Cmd+arrows
is the right shortcut for this feature either.

It's nice to have CTRL+cursor left/right, because it's not just quoting,
but in/decrease the level of quoting.

Did Ctrl+arrows do word-wise jumping on BeOS? From what I remember BeOS

didn't support word-wise jumping at all.

You may be right, I'm not 100% sure. But I think I remember a feeling of
deepest joy, when word-jumping was introduced...

WRT using CTRL instead of CMD for cursor-jumping being different to other
OS, I say it's just another little quirk of Haiku that people will have to
come to terms with. :)
The advantage that using CTRL for cursor-positioning never collides with
an app command (all using CMD) are well worth it, IMO.
