Ctrl vs Alt?

Ctrl moves my cursor one word at a time whereas alt + arrow moves me towards the beginning and end of a line. Does anyone else encounter this?

Indeed, what the video should say for windows users is ALT + Left/Right arrow instead of CTRL + Left/Right arrow. Same holds true for the SHIFT + CTRL + Left/Right arrow where CTRL should be replaced by ALT

Of course, those are shortcut keys. I'm an apple user, so they're similar but not exactly the same shortcut keys, for instance my command key + < or > arrows make my cursor jump to the beginning or end of a line.

Here is the link with Windows shortcuts. In windows you should use alt instead of ctrl. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/keyboard-shortcuts#keyboard-shortcuts=windows-8
