Gotcha. So no more MoveCaretUp/Down command, let's fix MoveUp/Down instead.

Very useful tip indeed. Thanks! I was using the select-1-char + extend with shift/arrow trick to workaround that in chrome and safari. Much better this way!

Now I understood why I shouldn't be creating new commands, this makes a lot of sense to me as well.

Still fix for bug 55481 keeps being a dependency for this so I'll base my work on that one, hoping it will be accepted at some point :-)
