Command to go to next and previous whitespace

Control left/right arrow is fine for normal english.. but when I'm coding I want to skip the pesky punctuation and code characters.. Go the next/previous SPACE.

1. Install vscode-powertools

2. Define powertools commands in settings: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json

   "ego.power-tools": {
       "commands": {
           "goToNextWhiteSpaceInDocument": {
               // Cannot use environment variables.. yet. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/2809
               // "script": "${env:APP_DATA}/goToNextWhiteSpaceInDocument.js",
               "script": "[absolute path to APPDATA with forward slashes]/Code/User/goToNextWhiteSpaceInDocument.js",
           },
           "goToPreviousWhiteSpaceInDocument": {
               // Cannot use environment variables.. yet. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/2809
               // "script": "${env:APP_DATA}/goToPreviousWhiteSpaceInDocument.js",
               "script": "[absolute path to APPDATA with forward slashes]/Code/User/goToPreviousWhiteSpaceInDocument.js",
           }
       }
   }

3. Copy command files.

   1. Copy file commands/goToPreviousWhiteSpaceInDocument.js to %APPDATA%\Code\User\goToPreviousWhiteSpaceInDocument.js.
   2. Copy file commands/goToNextWhiteSpaceInDocument.js to %APPDATA%\Code\User\goToNextWhiteSpaceInDocument.js.

4. Define keyboard shortcuts in %APPDATA%\Code\User\keybindings.json

   {
       "key": "shift+alt+]",
       "command": "goToNextWhiteSpaceInDocument"
   },
   {
       "key": "shift+alt+[",
       "command": "goToPreviousWhiteSpaceInDocument"
   }
