Not that I could find.


Any editors I've seen use

> Open, type "tess test test" in the Location field, and try Ctrl+Arrow,

My quick survey of editors/ides showed that they used ctrl-arrow for
move by word because they didn't support multiple selections so they
didn't need move without changing selection.
