Nice package in principle, but it didn't really do it for me since it lacks M-b and M-f (jump left/right by a word).

Much needed, and works. Any reason why M-b and M-f can't be added?

非常に良い拡張機能です、ありがとうございます！加えて欲しいキーバインドとして、 Ctrl+Space -> 選択範囲の開始があると非常に助かります。

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Emacs shortcuts IME does not require any sensitive permissions.
