In Windows and Ubuntu one can move the cursor to the end of the next word in text by pressing ctrl+ left or ctrl+right.
What's the equivalent of this on the Mac?

Command+left and Command+right brings you to the end or beginning of a line - something that I find really useful as well.– bassplayer7Commented Jun 19, 2012 at 11:58

it's a global thing like the enter or shift keys… goes without saying Commented Jun 19, 2012 at 23:00

6it doesn't "go without saying" since it had to be said. I too wanted to know this. Commented Jun 19, 2012 at 23:53

2Weird/relevant: on older version of Microsoft Word, it used to be command instead of option. Took them forever to get in line with the rest of Mac OS. Commented Jul 8, 2012 at 6:08
This is a late return from an outlying precinct on this question, but on my 2014 MacBook Pro using Word 2011, I stumbled on to how to move to the beginning and the end using "fn" + option + Left arrow, and Rt arrow respectively.
These combinations also work for the Word for Mac Preview v 15.8.
It's really quite simple: just us Command + right or left.
