Read that and wondered why you would struggle with moving the cursor one character forward. Then realized that I live in Emacs and that you had meant something else;)

This is one of the advantages of macOS, all the familiar GUI shortcuts live on the command key.

Not unrelated: Readline/emacs shortcuts work almost everywhere, which is to say that Ctl-F is forward in this very text buffer.

Not that I use it, but I do use Ctl-A and Ctl-E a fair amount.

Sometimes I just feel like I can't move the cursor forward at all. :)

Yeah I'm just a normie, and CTRL-F is search in seemingly most software :D
