## Mastering the IDE: Moving the Caret
You can move the caret a word at a time. The same works for selecting text:
| Operation | Shortcut | Description |
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Move to Next Word | &shortcut:EditorNextWord; | Move the caret to the next word. |
| Move to Previous Word | &shortcut:EditorPreviousWord; | Move the caret to the previous word. |
| Move to Next Word with Selection | &shortcut:EditorNextWordWithSelection; | Move the caret to the next word, selecting it. |
| Move to Previous Word with Selection | &shortcut:EditorPreviousWordWithSelection; | Move the caret to the previous word, selecting it.|
Select `getFooResult()` by moving the caret over words and extract it into a
`val foo` by hand. Next we'll discuss how to extract a variable automatically.
