Research direction
Start by reproducing the Option-based readline commands in CodeEdit.app on macOS, especially Ctrl-Opt-f and Ctrl-Opt-b, and inspect the app's keyboard handling entry points. Done means the listed macOS text-editing commands move the cursor or perform their command without producing a beep.

Description
Description
I utilise the readline style text commands supported by macOS such as Ctrl-f and Ctrl-b to move forward and backwards a character, normally I would be able to use Ctrl-Opt-f and Ctrl-Opt-b to move forward and backward a whole word, inside of CodeEdit.app this does not work and I am met with the macOS beep sound.
If you could get this functionality setup and fixed I would definitely consider using this application for all coding that can'd be done in Xcode.
You can see the full list of supported commands here under Move around within a document.
To Reproduce
- open a file in the app
- try to use readline commands that utilise Option
- hear the
beep
Expected Behavior
The cursor should move forward or backward a word, or perform whichever other command you input via the keyboard.
