What's the deal with Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right?

I like how Sublime does this. On the Mac, if you use Ctrl instead of Option, it gives you the ability to delete individual words in a camelCase or snake_case identifier.

For the sake of completeness: on Windows and Unix Ctrl goes over entire words while Alt considers camelCase and under_score.

Are you saying Alt+Left or Alt+Right work? They don't work for me on Windows or Ubuntu Linux.

Strange, works fine here. Dev Channel build 3142 if that matters.

sublime has a configuration option ("word_separators") that lets you set which characters are considered to separate words. you can add the underscore to this option.

I did not know that, mostly because I had ctrl+arrows uselessly bound to Mission Control. Thanks!
