Ok, let me explain better.

On 4.2.x (Mac OS X 10.5.8):
- ctrl+arrow = jump between words
- ctrl+shift+arrow = select up to the next word

On 5.8 (Mac OS X 10.5.8):
- ctrl+arrow = nothing happens
- ctrl+shift+arrow = nothing happens

I only mentioned regular Mac widgets for reference.

Cheers,
Doru
