Description

Type: Bug

When moving the cursor using CTRL+ or CTRL+, VS Code behaves differently:

- Moving to the **right**: Cursor stops at every `/\b/`.
- Moving to the **left**: Cursor only stops at `/\b\w/`.

In both cases, the cursor should stop at every `/\b/`.

I included my keyboard bindings file. Perhaps one of these settings isn't correctly implemented:
