I do this as well ... except in the apps that break this. (Aarg!)

It always bugged me that this didn't work in the terminal, and it's why I was so jazzed when I found out about Warp[1] (not affiliated). Aside from the other handy enhanced terminal features you'd expect from a replacement to the mac bundled one, the biggest win for me is it treats text input like a normal text input field, so all the normal shortcuts work.

I think iTerm has a similar feature where you can configure the keyboard shortcuts to use normal system style text selection shortcuts.

If arrow keys are too far, alternatives can be:

- ctrl option b, ctrl option f - ctrl a, e, k

Some GUIs and editors respect this, but it varies (Jupiter lab, emacs, GitHub.com text fields, etc)

control-left / control-right should get you the same behavior _inside_ of words in applications like Xcode, which often deal with CamelCaseCompoundSymbols.
