Keyboard ninjas would prefer to have a modal editing option where instead of this abomination of a shortcut you could have much shorter sequences (as an illustration):
C,L for left
C,; for right
with an option to make L/; sticky (repeatable movements without having to press C again) or be able to hold C and just press L/; to move
(by the way, sequences cmd+A,B can't be used since they're overriden by cmd+A but it should invoke cmd+a only after some timeout when you haven't pressed B
also scrolling on a Mac is broken, and in general would be nice to limit scrolling off-screen to some # of rows/columns, it doesn't make sense to be able to scroll into an empty infinity)
having to move your hand to ctrl+alt isn't much of an improvement. Also, you can retain modeless editing if you differentiate between holds and taps, holding C is still better than holding Ctrl+Alt
Scrolling is slow by default an doesn't respect scrolling speed like most of the other apps do (e.g., fast scrolling with a held modifier using linearmouse is just as slow in MCSV2 without a modifier)
Ah, I see. Having used a space cadet keyboard for years, everything else is, ironically, easier. The SC had nice big easy to hit targets for bucky keys and other important ones like return but ironically the space they took up required more stretching. On my MBA meta/control/command are close and reachable without stetching.
Which is a long winded way of saying no one way is perfect for all. Some people even apparently will willingly use a mouse!
Thanks for the explo for your perspective on scrolling. Because i'm an emacs user I use search a lot more than actually scrolling.
