osx - Transpose words in Sublime Text 3

    In Sublime Text 2, I'm able to transpose two words by placing the cursor on the space between them and pressing Ctrl+T. However, in Sublime Text 3 (build 3059 on OS X Mavericks), I get the default OS X behavior of just transposing two characters. This is the case even if I choose Edit > Text > Transpose through the status bar.

    Is this a bug, or by design? Is there a way to bring back the old behavior?

    The TransposeCharacter plugin offers more intelligent transposing, see readme for details, and maybe even this screencast. It goes really well with the MarkAndMove plugin.

    While this doesn't answer your question, I hope it can render it obsolete :)

    Have you tried to use ⌥-arrow (ALT-arrow)?

    Create a file named DefaultKeyBinding.dict in ~/Library/Keybindings and add the following text:

    {
    "^\UF702" = (moveWordLeft:);
    "^\UF703" = (moveWordRight:);
}

    This will reassign Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right from their default moveToBeginningOfLine/moveToEndOfLine to movement by words, the same action as performed by Opt-Left/Right.
