@hotdogsladies these are EMACS keybindings - years ago, NEXTSTEP (which must have had a bunch of UNIX nerds in their UI team) implemented common emacs keybindings in the NS text system defaults. Ctrl-t is transpose letters, and Meta-t would be transpose words (might be bound to option t on OS X, no idea)
More awesomely, this used to be _fully_ customisable by dropping plists into `~/Library/KeyBindings/` - you can just add keysequences and map them onto objective C selectors that the text API responds to - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/TextDefaultsBindings.html
I doubt if this still works, and I've not used a Mac seriously for about ten years at this point.

In most Mac apps, `CTRL-T` swaps the characters on either side of the cursor location.
