Here is a rule for how to level up your shell/editing game. If you ever touch your arrow keys, you are doing something wrong.

> ctrl + left arrow Moves the cursor to the left by one word > ctrl + right arrow Moves the cursor to the right by one word

Alt + b and Alt + f are also aliases for the same action.

uhh.... So what's wrong with doing the exact same thing with arrow keys? isn't that more natural and convenient?

Your hand has to move a few inches. It wastes time. You can optimize it out of your workflow.
