Currently we can't use the UnicodeJS.wordbreak library to emulate word skipping (ctrl+arrow / alt+arrow) functionality as wordbreaks appear either side of whitespace and between multiple whitespaces:
| One | Two | Three | |||
Moving forwards we expect the cursor to stop in the following positions:
One| Two| Three|
Moving backwards we expect:
| One | Two | Three |
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Looking at other implementations, sepcifically OpenOffice, they have an "ignore whitespace" mode in their nextWord function:
which calls an is_whitepsace function, which is defined as:

I have added better support for skipping white spaces in 4th patch set: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/57076/
