Smart home behaviour change
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 6 January, 2004 - 15:47
When using smart home, I need to press home twice to get to the beginning of line even if I am already at the beginning of the first word. For example, in the line:

<space><space><cursor>someword

If I press home once the cursor does not move, I have to press home again to go to the begining of line. I would like an option so that when I am already at the smart home position, pressing the Home key takes me directly to the beginning of line.

Smart end behaviour change also

Smart end works the same way. I would like an option so that when I am just past the last character of the last word, pressing the End key takes me to the end of line. The way it works now I have to press end twice.
 
Home always to column 1

As long as we are wishing for improvements to the HOME key functionality, I would also like to see an option so that when I press the HOME key it takes me to column 1 automatically, everytime, regardless of the carets current position.

Hi,

I hope, I understood you correctly. Your Home key is assigned to "Smart Home". To get the funtionality you want you just have to assign the Home key to "Go to Start of Line" in Utilities -> "Global Options" -> "Shortcuts".

Hope it helps.
