Hi,
Thanks for your nice reaction. We indeed plan to implement bindings for
forward-word and backward-word, although we did not have time to do so.
Also, we are having a discussion on how to reorganize the keyboard
mappings:

If you have any ideas, then you are welcome to post your comments.
In fact, we do not know yet what to do for the shortcuts involving
arrow keys: there are many other possible uses for them and
we have not yet made a final choice...
I also would like to note that there are some TeXmacs users who want to
build a data base with freely distributable texts for scientists
(at the moment limited to physics). If you want to join this effort,
please contact us again. I would like to make the texts available by CVS at
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/texmacs-doc/
as examples of texts that you can write with TeXmacs.
Best wishes, Joris
