Proper cursor move mode

So you start using Emacs and you actually loved it. But if you always use C-<left> C-<right> and C-<backspace> you might have noticed that it works not like you expect. Instead of moving to the next separator it moves to the next word (it is bound to forward-word and backward-word).

**It is totally unusable. **

So I made this minor mode to solve the issue.

You can see the difference at these gifs:

Usage##

Put proper-cursor-move-mode.el to your .emacs.d directory. Add this line to your .emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
(require 'proper-cursor-move-mode)

Use M-x proper-cursor-move-mode to enable proper cursor move mode in current buffer. Or you can enable it globally by using M-x proper-cursor-global-mode
