I stumbled across this question before stumbling over the VSTricks extension, which does this (and a couple of other things).
After installing, I had to re-map the hotkeys manually, but it was pretty simple:
For all the settings in the list, I mapped to the keystrokes that were previously mapped to the corresponding commands for words (e.g. Edit.SubWordNext
was mapped to Ctrl+Right arrow, which was previously mapped to Edit.WordNext
).
The extension works in VS2015 too - and, unlike e.g. ReSharper which also has this feature, it's free :)
