Can I hack Ctrl-arrow key stop points?

When I hit Ctrl- or Ctrl- in a text field, the cursor jumps to the beginning or end of a word. It stops at dashes, but not periods.

It stops at white space, but not brackets, colons, or semi-colons. I would much prefer that Ctrl-arrow key stop at all punctuation. Can I hack that behavior into my PC? Where should I begin?

It depends on what text editor you are using. So what text editor are you using? – Jonny Henly – 2014-05-13T02:20:10.753

@JonnyHenly I use Npp, but I was also thinking Google Chrome. – Wolfpack'08 – 2014-05-13T08:51:37.837

If you talk about usual EDIT fields (e.g. Windows Run menu) or Notepad, then u cannot hack it. It's better done in external text editors: Notepad++, SynWrite (Synw copies behaviour of Notepad++), Akelpad (it has option which chars are word-chars and are stops) etc.

But there's no method in your answer or terminology so that the method can be researched. – Wolfpack'08 – 2014-05-13T08:52:05.287
