Hello, I have a quick simple question. On Mac, in most applications, when you hold the option key + the left or right arrow, you can quickly skip words in a block of text, and command + left or right arrow jumps to the start or end of the text. Holding shift along with these shortcuts highlights the text so you can quickly delete/copy/cut/paste blocks of text. (I'm sure there's an equivalent on Windows). For some reason in Pd none of this works so I have to tap through one charatcer at a time with the left/right arrows, or use the mouse to position the cursor exactly where I need, or to highlight a block of text, which is all much slower than the keyboard commands I'm used to. Is this something with my particular installation or is it like this for everyone? Has anyone got these keyboard commands working in Pd?

@soundproofskin Pd's built in text editor seems a low priority and just a convienence that is not meant to replace a proper editor. I have an abstraction which you use in place of [text define] and instead of opening the internal editor it opens the text in an external editor and reloads the text anytime it is saved, I will upload it later this week after I get some computer stuff sorted out.
