@lproven found: keyword CUA.

(100782 is for the Alt key, not the Control key.)

FreeBSD bug 100782 – [keyboard] Default keymap to support ALT+Left, ALT+Right console switching

@lproven I had completely forgotten this report. Does it begin to address the shortcomings that you find with keyboard shortcuts?

(Sorry, I can't find our previous conversations about forward and back at the command line.)

#FreeBSD #keyboard

I am using it primarily with modal editors. Now #Helix, used to be #Neovim. Works really well with both. Even though the layout is completely different, in modal editors I just reach for the right letter. The only exception are hjkl for movement, but I have arrow keys mapped on homerow in the same way. Not only I don't have trouble with my muscle memory in vim/hx but I also brought it to all other applications :D
