Description

It looks like word jumping -- option+arrow key to get to the previous word or next word -- isn't working in CodeMirror now.

This is a very commonly used keystroke combination, we need to fix this.

Seen on Mac, Firefox 54.0.1

This does work for the New Wikitext Editor.

Apparently https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/373624/ was the cause.

ctrl + arrow key still working. Change 373624 makes behavior of alt + arrow key the same as when textarea used, see bug T174055.

IMO this ticket should be closed as invalid.

The status was changed by mistake... I did not want to do it by myself

It seems maybe this fixed an issue for one OS, but introduced another for Mac? On Mac there is currently no way to jump between words, when there was beforehand. I don't think Alt+arrow controls the browser history, either, at least on my machine.

However for anyone having this problem, I recommend trying the "New wikitext mode", currently available as a Beta feature. All the native keystrokes appear to work there with CodeMirror.

Seems should be fixed. Should be used different keyMaps for Mac and PC.
