Description

Ctrl-Arrow is supposed to move the caret one word in the direction of the arrow.

In RTL wikis it moves too far. It looks like to goes to the next reference or the next sentence rather than the next word.

On a Mac it's Alt-Arrow a.k.a. Option-Arrow.

This looks like just a problem with Hebrew. The new Unicode spec introduced a "HebrewLetter" group which we didn't add to the WordBreak checker.
