Hello 9fans,
here's my question for today
over the years i've rather got used to home, end and the cursor
keys. I find it slightly cumbersome so reach for the mouse to move
up a line in acme and I keep instinctively press the up key and lose
my concentration when I find myself a page away.
So, is there a simple way to enable those keys to move as I expect
them to (without hacking the source)?
If not then my supplementary is why?
What's the philosophy of not allowing the cursor keys to move the cursor?
Same goes for the shell. I love the freeform nature of it but really
miss home and end. Ctrl-U is about as good as it seems to get.
I hope I'm missing something, I'd be disappointed to lose out on all
that keyboard training.
