Steps to reproduce

Open a document in MacOS Beta.
Open a different document.
Place cursor at the end of a sentence.
Press Option + Left Arrow Key

Expected result

Expect the cursor to jump left by 1 word.

Actual result

It appears the ā€œdocumentā€ goes back to the previously loaded document. (eg Like hitting back button not moving the cursor)

Environment

Mac OS 10.12.1
DynaList Mac Beta.

Additional information

Using Option + Backspace seems to properly delete an entire word.
Using Option + Right Arrow seems to navigate forward (eg forward button).

Weā€™ve fixed this on our end and itā€™s going out in the next release. After the fix Alt-Left/Right will be left alone to do its job and use Cmd-Left/Right to go back and forward.

Cmd and not ctrl?

Cmd-Left/Right isnā€™t that the same as ā€œHomeā€ and ā€œEndā€ on a full keyboard? (Cmd-Left brings you to the front of the link, Cmd-Right to the end of it).

Should there even be a back/forward buttons/controls? Itā€™s not one that I have ever particularly used myself in Dynalist, but I do make a lot of use of the various input shortcuts including moving the cursor around.

Cmd-Left/Right only if youā€™re not editing a line. Ctrl-Left/Right would work too.

Sorry, why not Cmd-[ and Cmd-] like in Chrome and (I believe) Safari?

Thatā€™s for zooming in and out in Dynalist. Not exactly the same as going back and forward in history.

Update: this should be fixed in the newest closed beta version. Restart the app and it should work now.

Oh yeah. Browsers use Cmd-[ and Cmd-] to go backwards and forwards, but I forgot Dynalist overrides them by default (my shortcuts are customized).
