Describe the solution you'd like The cursor should move as if the symbols were a word.

Use case

What happens behind the scenes is the app sending ctrl+left/right to the system. So it's Android that is not treating symbols correctly. Technically it would be possible to re-implement this functionality, but it would be a lot of effort for a minor improvement.

A PR would be fine if it results in a clear improvement.
