    Issue with Ctrl + Right Arrow, moving cursor one word to the right


    Hello,I am encountering a very strange issue where Ctrl + Right arrow shortcut doesn't move my cursor one word to the right like Ctrl + Left arrow shortcut moves my cursor one word to the left. I've noticed this on my other computers aswell, and on my new laptop also. That being said, I think the issue with Ctrl + Right arrow not registering has to do something with default Windows settings or it is much deeper than that.Just for further info, I use a croatian keyboard layout so that might be a factor.

    :)

    Up-Down and Left-Right Arrows Only move one space at a time

    Up-Down and Left-Right Arrows Only move cursor one space at a time. Takes forever to move the cursor anywhere.

    With text function there is no repeat
    EXAMPLE Typical... I had to push the right arrow key 7 times for the word EXAMPLE
    Tried windows troubleshooting and got nothing useful
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Issue with Ctrl + Right Arrow, moving cursor one word to the right

    (Solved) How to Restore 'Ctrl + Left Arrow' & 'Ctrl + Right Arrow' Function?

    Hi. I usually use 'Ctrl + Right Arrow' or ' Ctrl + Left Arrow' to quickly move ahead or back (word by word) in a sentence I am editing. Or, I use the combinations together with the Shift Key to quickly highlight words in a given sentence. The Ctrl + Arrow
    (and related) Ctrl + Arrow + Shift have stopped working on my system; i.e., nothing happens when I try to use the keys in combination ... but the keys function as expected individually.

    So far, I've restored my Windows settings to an earlier point in time to try and fix the issue, but the problem remains across all applications.

    Does anyone know of a fix to control this shortcut / hotkey issue?

    OS: Windows 10 Pro, x64
