This has bothered me for a while (since 2007! --

I finally decided to do something about it....
On Mac, moving down a paragraph should place the cursor at the end of
the current paragraph (unless it's already there, in which case it
should move to the end of the next paragraph). The attached patch does
this, honoring the "Use Mac-style for cursor moving between words"
preference setting, which I've renamed "Use Mac-style cursor movement".
In doing this, I changed the preference setting name
(mac_like_word_movement to mac_like_cursor_movement) to better reflect
its function, and I altered the description of this preference setting
in the dialog. (It probably wouldn't hurt if translations for that
description didn't get changed.)
The only thing I'm not reasonably sure about is the accelerator key in
the Preferences dialog (since these don't show up on Mac). I chose
"Use M&ac-style ...", since "a" wasn't used as an accelerator
elsewhere in the dialog.
There will need to be some prefs2prefs done for this. You will need to
bump the LYXRC format in LyXRC.cpp, and then write the appropriate
routine in lib/scripts/prefs2prefs_prefs.py. The latter should be
trivial, since the simple_renaming() function should do the trick. See
its use in the language_package() function.
The patch looks safe to me, though probably some other Mac person should
have a look.
