Text Boxes Don't Use Standard OS X Shortcuts

The following system-wide OS X text-editing shortcuts do not exist:

  • Cmd+C/V/X - should be instead of Ctrl+C/V/X

  • Option/Alt+Left/Right - should move back and forth by word (like Ctrl on Windows)

  • Cmd+Left/Right - should be the equivalent of Home/End

  • (extension of above) Cmd+Shift+Left/End - should select everything before/after the cursor

  • Cmd+Backspace - should delete everything before the cursor

  • Alt+Backspace - should delete the word before the cursor

System-independent issues:

  • Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right - only selects one word

  • Ctrl+Right - should 'hug' the word rather than jumping past the trailing space.

Reasons why the code does what it does:

You include Cmd as a recognised alternative to Ctrl, but a lot of the key combinations you listen out for are detected by their C0 code, which of course will only include the Ctrl character.

Well I searched for "OS X text box" and didn't get anything, so I posted this. I guess I should've done a more thorough search then...
