hey cool thanks, i took ians function and modified it a little ... this
seems to work okay i think...

;; 32 = ASCII <space>
(defun prev-word-end-three (&optional arg)
 (interactive "p")
 (let ((arg (or arg 1)))
   (cond
    ((= (preceding-char) 32)  (progn (backward-word (+ arg))
(forward-word))) ;; bw fw
    (t  (progn (backward-word (+ 1 arg))
(forward-word)))                     ;; bw bw fw
    )
 );; let
);;defun

 (global-set-key "\C-x\M-b" 'prev-word-end-three)
 (global-set-key "\M-B" 'prev-word-end-three)
