Interesting, thanks! This does "fix" (from my standpoint) the way word jumping works, though oddly not in all documents. If I place the phrase "https://github.com/Some-Org/some-repo"; in a .txt file, it takes 6 uses of Option-right arrow to navigate through it, but if I simply change the document suffix to .html, it takes 13! (That is, the normal word movement kicks in.) Not sure if this is intentional. I tested a few other suffixes at random (.pl, .py., .md) and they all use "modern word behavior" like .txt files do.
