Ctrl+right arrow doesn't put the cursor in the expected place on Windows

[peterflynn]

I use this shortcut a lot. In Brackets it just felt sort of "off" at first, until I noticed the pattern...

1. Paste this string into the editor somewhere: "aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh"
2. Put the cursor somewhere within the "aaa"
3. Hit Ctrl+right a few times

Result: cursor goes to the end of each word (e.g. insertion point is between the last "c" and the space following it)

Expected: cursor goes to the start of each word (e.g. insertion point is between the first 'd" and the space before it)

The current CodeMirror behavior seems to be a Mac/Linux-ism: Espresso, TextMate, and Sublime all behave like CodeMirror (for Alt-right arrow on Mac). But all the Windows apps I tried -- Notepad, WordPad, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Outlook/Word -- behave the way I expect.

QRB marking "to user story" for keyboard shortcut story. Removing priority.

While #670 was in progress in CodeMirror, I did a quick survey of various editors. Interestingly, this is not purely a Mac/Win split. IntelliJ and Eclipse behave this way even on Mac. And Sublime behaves the other way, even on Win.
