C-M-f and C-M-b are Forward Form and Backward Form.  C-M means control-meta, or in other words, usually Control-Option.  Control-rightarrow and Control-leftarrow should also work for those.  There's a "Hemlock Commands" menu item in the Help menu that helps discover editor commands and their key bindings.

You might have to disable the mission control shortcuts in the keyboard system preferences pane in order for the control-arrow sequences to work (since they're used to switch between spaces otherwise.)

1. open keyboard prefs.
2. choose shortcuts tab
3. select "mission control" from list on left, and then clear the "Mission Control" checkbox to make control-leftarrow and control-rightarrow available for applications to use.

Hope that helps,
