Eclipse Caret Positioning

This always bothered me, probably just because I wasn't used to it:

In every other text editor I use, CTL-LEFT and CTL-RIGHT causes the cursor (caret) to move to the previous or next word. In Eclipse, this action moves the cursor to the previous or next Capital letter. For example, doing a CTL-RIGHT from the beginning of handleEvent makes the cursor stop at the Capital 'E' in 'Event' - not the end of the word.

I found the 'preference' for this today by accident and was able to turn this 'feature' off.

    Window > Preferences...

      and on the preferences tree...

    Java > Editor : Smart caret positioning in Java Names (overrides platform behavior)

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

I personally have embraced the new technologies and the CMS platforms, I think the new tools only make the web designs better. I am glad that new technologies are coming out in web design that make things easier, improved, and better looking for design.
