That would also be my preference, as it keeps things simple. I can see that it
is tempting to introduce word delimiter lists, but TBH it's a niche feature.

I would favour two different key bindings, i.e. I don't like hold a key and
waiting for things to happen. But as Eric also said, this can be configured.

>Yes, by autorepeat I mean that if you hold the key combination it repeats automatically. So, just to confirm, you'd like to keep next/previous word autorepeat?

I hope it's ok if I comment, too :).
ATM, it autorepeats already. The behaviour in 6.7 moves quite fast, so I
wouldn't be able to really figure out for how long to keep the key pressed and
where I would end up. I wouldn't use the  feature as such. If I want to jump
multiple words, I prefer pressing quickly the move-by-word key binding so that
I know precisely that I moved n words. To me, it seems to be useful only if
the repeat only takes place once the current word has been spoken. But again,
that's just my preference.

Thanks
Sebastian
