JabRef version

JabRef 5.0-beta.409--2020-02-09--6a9c915
Mac OS X 10.14.6 x86_64 
Java 13.0.2

On macOS, in a text box, Option-Left/Right moves the insertion point by one word, and Command-Left/Right moves it to the beginning or end of the line. This is the standard behaviour in all apps.

JabRef follows this standard in some text boxes, but not others. It works in the Title field:

But it does not work in the BibTeX source box:

This makes it very inconvenient to edit the BibTeX source on a Mac.

Please ensure that the app follows the OS's standard in all textboxes.
