Move the text cursor to the end of the current word before moving it to the start of the next word and vice versa in the opposite direction.

Description

The default Edit.WordNext command moves the cursor only to the beginning of the next word.

This extension provides the Edit.WordNextEnd command, which moves the cursor to the end of the current word first, and , if the command is triggered again, at the beginning of the next word afterwards. In other words, an additional text anchor is added to this type of movement command.

Analogously,Edit.WordPreviousEnd is provided for the opposite direction, and Edit.WordPreviousEndExtend and Edit.WordNextEndExtend are provided for extending selections.

Example

*The*      *asterisks*     *illustrate*      *where* *the* *cursor*        *is*     *placed*

Usage

After installing the vsix, the commands can be accessed via

Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard

It is suggested to overwrite the Edit.Word* keys, i.e., Ctrl+Right Arrow etc.
