NSResponderMBS.moveParagraphForwardAndModifySelection
Function:
Implemented by subclasses to move the selection or insertion point to the beginning of the next paragraph, expanding or reducing the current selection.
Notes:
If the cursor is already at the end of a paragraph, the selection moves forward to the end of the next paragraph.
NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.
Available in Mac OS X v10.6 and later.

NSResponderMBS.moveRight
Function:
Implemented by subclasses to move the selection or insertion point one element or character to the right.
Notes: In text, if there is a selection it should be deselected, and the insertion point should be placed at the right end of the former selection. NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.moveRightAndModifySelection
Function:
Implemented by subclasses to expand or reduce either end of the selection to the right (display order) by one element or character.
Notes:
If the end being modified is the left end, this method reduces the selection; if the end being modified is the right end, it expands the selection. The first moveLeftAndModifySelection: or moveRightAndModifySelection: method in a series determines the end being modified by always expanding. Hence, this method results in the right end becoming the mobile one if invoked first. By default, this method is bound to the right arrow key.
NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.
The essential difference between this method and the corresponding moveForwardAndModifySelection: is that the latter method moves in logical order, which can differ in bidirectional text, whereas this method moves in display order.
