And the command backward-word, with the keyboard shortcut M-B, places point at the beginning of the current word, or if it is already at the beginning of a word, it places point at the beginning of the previous word. I would like if those two commands, forward-word and backward-word, had identical results, i.e. so that the command forward-word would instead place point at the beginning of the next word, just as the command backward-word places the point at the beginning of a word. Has this issue ever been discussed? In Microsoft Windows, when you edit a text and you move forward one word with Ctrl-ArrowRight, the cursor is placed at the beginning of a word. It makes more sense, I think. Not that MS Windows is a great operating system. It sucks, actually. I am not subscribed to the bug-gnu-emacs mailing list, so would someone send a reply to my e-mail address? Gunnar Vestergaard Torshavn, Faroe Islands
