Description

I utilise the readline style text commands supported by macOS such as Ctrl-f and Ctrl-b to move forward and backwards a character, normally I would be able to use Ctrl-Opt-f and Ctrl-Opt-b to move forward and backward a whole word, inside of CodeEdit.app this does not work and I am met with the macOS beep sound.

If you could get this functionality setup and fixed I would definitely consider using this application for all coding that can'd be done in Xcode.

You can see the full list of supported commands here under Move around within a document.

To Reproduce

  1. open a file in the app
  2. try to use readline commands that utilise Option
  3. hear the beep

Expected Behavior

The cursor should move forward or backward a word, or perform whichever other command you input via the keyboard.

Version Information

CodeEdit: Version 0.3.2-alpha (43)
macOS: Version 15.1 Beta (24B5070a)
Xcode: Version 16.0 (16A242d)
