Right. Across applications and platforms.

"Use mac-style" is already the default here. Changing it only there, being available on other platforms, seems good. If the way forward is as you just described it would have my +1. However, I think that it should be the default everywhere; see my last paragraph in this mail. > Related to the above paragraph, thanks for the list of applications that > have different behavior.

It looks to me as if jumping would be writer's logic whereas staying in column is programmer's logic. greetings Mike
