How can I alter previous/next word navigation in Eclipse editor?

When navigating across words, the Eclipse editor considers a change in letter case and a hyphen-minus as word boundaries. This is problematic, as most of my variable names are of mixed case and, with some syntax (e.g. CSS), a hypen-minus can be part of a name.

How can I modify Eclipse to change its understanding of a word boundary to accomodate these common variants of syntax?

Preferences -> Java -> Editor.

Disable "Smart caret positioning...".
