Currently when jumping by words (Ctrl+Right) cursor is placed at the beginning of next word. Maybe it's only me but I can't imagine situation when I would want to need cursor there - it should be always at the end of last word. Current behavior requires me to go back each time I try to select eg. class or variable name - one more key typed in such frequent operation is an important issue.
All editors I know behave like Eclipse when pressing Ctrl + Right Arrow However, your request is valid and asks for a "Goto end of word" command. We will not change the current key binding but once the command is implemented you can bind it to Ctrl+Right Arrow if you like.
hm, I don't agree, Dani. I would want the jump behaviour to be as it is currently (go to the beginning of the word), but change the behaviour if I have a selection, i.e. have Shift pressed. Gedit always goes to far end of the next word (What you call Goto end of word), which is not good when navigating forward to the start of a possible selection.
Clarifying comment 2: I *agree* that we should have a different commands for the requested functionality. It's the the users choice which commands to bind to jumping (Ctrl+Arrrow) and selecting (Ctrl+Shift+Arrow).
My fault - I forgot to specify that indeed I meant selection, ie. Ctrl+Shift+Right
