As you can see, in window$, there is a Ctrl-Shift-X combitation that does
not relate to direction switching, the jump-word-while-selecting which is
Ctrl-Shift-Left/Right. And, Nadav is right in the fact that this is *very*
annoying to a window$ user when you try to select some words and turn out to
flip the directionality.
