Kate feature request (as a bug report)

i am using
Kate Version 21.12.3 with
Kubuntu 22.04.1

With Kate, with
Ctrl-RightArrow
Ctrl-LeftArrow
please fix.

In short:
Can you change Kate to behave like Gedit?

The task Gedit is better at versus Kate is:
Ctrl-RightArrow = move Right to next word with
many blank lines between words, in 1 keystroke.

Ctrl-LeftArrow = move Left to next word with
many blank lines between words, in 1 keystroke.

Said the Long way ...
using Kate Version 21.12.3 and
sample text file below:

Line 1 test1 of sample text file.

Line 9 test2, Lines 2 to 8 are blank.

With cursor at end of Line 1,
With cursor after Line 1 period in file.
see above ...

With Gedit the command is one (1) keystroke.
Ctrl-RightArrow = skip words, moves from Line 1 end to Line 9 or
said differently with Gedit, any number of blank lines the
cursor moves down to next word.
Excellent feature, one (1) keystroke.

With Kate the command is eight (8) keystrokes.
Ctrl-RightArrow 8 times in above example or more keystrokes
if more blank lines between words.

With Kate, with
Ctrl-RightArrow
Ctrl-LeftArrow
please fix.

Regards.
