Improve my cursor movement experience

#1

I’ve already read the main google entries for this without getting what I need. But I’d like to improve my cursor movement experience with ST. In other words: Less mechanical work and delay to get the cursor where I want in the code.

Part 1 - Between Lines movement:

Currently I’m too dependent of arrow-keys, and worst of all, holding it down (and waiting) for moving across multiple lines/sections. I’m using a plugin that allow me to jump between Class/Function definitions using alt+ Up/Down, I’d like to jump through all the logical tokens (class def, function def, for and if) and maybe even unindented blocks of lines.

Part 2 - Move inside a given line:

Move to the beginning/end of line w/o going after Home/End keys, and if possible, walk (jumping by word) without using arrow keys (I use a plugin that allow me to alt + (hjkl) for vim-like movement but it’s too restricted, almost useless, without repetition-buffer support).

Keep calm, coding should be slow and fun.

The universe doesn’t demand 5 KLOCs per day.

Everything based on keyboard input (that does not insert a character) is an explicit keybinding. You can remap them however you like.
