quicker horizontal scrolling #202

Closed ds2606 closed 2 years ago

ds2606 commented 2 years ago

Right now, my options for horizontal scrolling seem to be l/h or ^/$ for a character or line-end, respectively. (alt-mouse-scrolling does not seem to jive with iterm/tmux, plus hey keybindings > mouse?). On narrow-width windows or terminal panes, this can be slow to navigate to the middle of a long line.

With normal readline emacs-style bindings, alt-b/alt-f work to jump one word to the right/left as a fast way for lateral navigation. Maybe we could add similar keybindings to jump forward/back a word?

EDIT: this would super sensibly be jumping to next/previous column. If there are bindings for up/down a row, why none for forward/back a column? Seems like it could be super handy?

I think I was just viewing a non-formatted filetype and didn't realize left/right nav by column is already the norm
