Hi, I just wanted to put in a feature request for smart caret positioning for TypeScript names. This is something I really enjoyed when editing in Java and JavaScript, and I miss it when I editing in TypeScript.

Basically, if I have the following function in a JavaScript editor, pressing Ctrl+Right or Ctrl+Shift+Right keys will move the cursor between each camel-cased word:
function thisFunctionHasCamelCasing() {
}

Here’s a video of the behavior I see in JavaScript, that I’d love to have in TypeScript:

Thanks!

James,

I have raised an enhancement request for the dev team to support smart caret positioning in TypeScript editor.
We will keep you posted when the support is added. Thank you for the request.
