With a long line of text that causes word wrap to push the text to the next line when you use the Command-Shift-Left Arrow shortcut it selects the entire word-wrapped line. In Sublime Text and Text Edit that command only selects the text to the first column of that word wrapped line.

Result in Brackets when pushing Command-Shift-Left Arrow:

Same issue with Home & End -- CodeMirror goes to start of entire line, other editors go to start of wrapped line segment...

File a CodeMirror issue codemirror/codemirror5#1544.

Remove "tracking" label since Marijn said that it is by design. But we can fix it by binding Home/End (Cmd-Left/Right) to "goLineLeft"/"goLineRight" (instead of the default "goLineStart"/"goLineEnd") on our end.

Thanks@RaymondLim. This might not be something we want to fix, but it seems like it deviates enough from the other editors we compare Brackets to that it would be worth looking into. Is that a starter bug/feature level of complexity do you think?

Yes, it is definitely a starter bug. Just have to make sure that all the different keys (on Windows and Mac) are remapped for CodeMirror keymap.

We should do some careful testing a/o code inspection though, to make sure switching commands doesn't change any other aspects of the Home/End behavior (for example, smart home?).

Reviewed. Low priority, to@RaymondLim. Should figure out what the correct behavior is on Windows.

My comment about smart home above turned out to indeed be a problem. I've pinged Marijn to see if he has any suggestions for a clean way of getting both behaviors together... (Otherwise we'd have to duplicate ~10-20 lines of CM code into Editor).

Confirmed fixed on Win and Mac.
