I wasn't talking about coding, but about browing.
I always hit ctrl-s subcounciously, even more, I always hit ctrl-a
ctrl-c when I post anything on the net.
I was talking about "browsing" code.
If you know your shortcuts, you should also know that ctrl-arrow takes
you to the next word aotumatically, no matter how many spaces/tabs there
are. I've seen work in DOS too.
