Description Zeev Turchinsky 2015-11-03 08:37:12 UTC
Option + right arrow moves the cursor left one word, and otherwise, Option + left arrow moves the cursor right one word
Comment 1 Alex Thurgood 2015-11-03 09:34:26 UTC
@Zeev : this works for me in

TDF produced 
Version: 5.0.2.2
Build ID: 37b43f919e4de5eeaca9b9755ed688758a8251fe
Locale : fr-FR (fr.UTF-8)

Can not confirm.

Option+right arrow moves cursor one word to the right.
Option+left arrow moves cursor one word to the left.

Which OSX version are you using ?
Are you using a LibreOffice version from the AppStore ?

Hi, I use version 10.11.1 (15B42) of OS X El Capitan - the latest one.
I use LibreOffice that I downloaded from the official site, not from the AppStore.
Comment 3 Zeev Turchinsky 2015-11-03 10:12:09 UTC
The Command + left and right arrow work in the same way.
Comment 4 Zeev Turchinsky 2015-11-03 15:04:01 UTC
I found that the same behaviour happens in OpenOffice...Any ideas?
Comment 5 Alex Thurgood 2015-11-03 16:18:15 UTC
@Zeev : are you using RTL (right to left) typing, or are your documents defined with a language that is RTL ? Just guessing here.

I just set the options like it appears in the attachments...
Comment 9 Alex Thurgood 2015-11-09 11:04:12 UTC
So, I would be inclined to mark this as a duplicate of bug 93352, which shows similar behaviour in Calc when CTL (RTL) is activated, i.e. the horizontal directional coordinates of scrollbars, and cursor (arrow) keys seem to be inverted when CTL mode is activated.

I will leave this as a separate report though for the moment, as I don't know which code paths are involved, and they might be different (although with similar undesirable effect) between Calc and Writer.

I get the same result with RTL text and Ctrl + arrows on Windows with 4.4.7, 4.3.0 beta1 and 3.5.0.
Also, it was said "I found that the same behaviour happens in OpenOffice"
