Essential Motions
Moving by WORDs
Cross whitespace-delimited chunks with W, E, and B.
Uppercase WORD motions treat punctuation and identifier characters alike until whitespace. They are ideal for URLs, chained calls, and other symbol-heavy chunks.
Use W, E, and B in the editor beside this lesson. Practice is where you learn it, with the answer a click away; the Test is graded, unaided, and the only thing that marks this lesson complete.

Practice to learn it. Test to prove it.
Practice keeps the answer a click away — endlessly in Free, or as a 15-goal run against par and your own best time in Timed. The Test gives you 8 goals with no hints and a keystroke budget on each; passing it is what marks this lesson complete.
