Implements word-by-word cursor navigation using ALT+Left and ALT+Right: - Adds moveCursorWordLeft and moveCursorWordRight methods - Includes comprehensive test cases for various scenarios - Creates a demo for testing and showing compatibility - Handles multiple spaces and partial word positions The implementation supports both standard terminals and PuTTY's alternative input mode (see additional fix). Hint: Different from moveWordForward/moveWordBackward which are text-direction aware (Forward goes to logical end of text). moveWordLeft/Right are visually direction aware - Left always moves cursor visually left on screen.

I don't fully understand the difference currently. But there are word boundaries calculated natively, which support CJK/emojis etc. |

The difference is the direction. When you say "back one word", you might navigate to the right in RTL. But when you press the cursor to the left, you might want to go to the word LEFT to the current one. |
