If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

Home is God-tier, just as useful as End when editing stuff.

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 113 points 11 months ago

Yeah, weird to see someone who appreciates the end key but not the home key.

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

Editing a line and pressing home to jump to the start of it is incredibly useful.

More so when dealing with anything that was wrapped

[-] rubicon@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

I have my left mouse wheel click set to home, and right mouse wheel click to end. That way I can decide if I want to be at the start of the line or the end.

[-] funkajunk@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

Why use the mouse when you are already on the keyboard?

[-] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

What if you want to be at the spot where you actually clicked the mouse?

[-] Cipher22@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Insanely useful editing CLI

[-] hackris@lemmy.ml 15 points 11 months ago

Agreed, but I am more of a "Shift + I" kind of guy

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 11 months ago

Wait doesn't Shift + I just type "I"?

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 11 months ago

Only if you are in insert mode. If you are in normal mode, Shift-I moves to the beginning of the line and then enters insert mode.

That’s some arcane gobbledygook. I think you mean M-m

Tied my left hand into a pretzel trying that one

[-] docAvid@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago

Ah, I see you're a nerd of culture as well.

[-] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago

To kill the joke, they're talking about the popular and mode-based editor VIM where in normal mode each key on the keyboard does an action

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah when I searched for "insert-mode" from another comment, the next suggested result was "insert-mode vim" and "insert-mode visual studio" (which IIRC is just aping vim), plus it's /c/programmerhumor so I had a feeling that it would be vim shenanigans.

~~Or CTRL-{left arrow}~~

~~I think, I'm going off muscle memory~~

[-] Skua@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

That jumps left one word rather than to the start of the line in everything I can think of

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Nope you're right, it was Fn+{{left arrow}} on mine. I don't use it often though

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Ctrl+A does do that though if you wanted a Ctrl way of doing it

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 11 months ago

Had to look for a new laptop for my wife. One of the requirements was a Home and an End key because both were missing on her old laptop for some inane reason. Not available with Fn, just nothing. Before that we wouldn't even have thought of checking for that.

[-] omidmnz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You can add those as win+, or any other combination you like, using KMonad or Kanata, plus a lot of other shenanigans. But I guess having them natively is a lot easier for everyone involved.

Apple didn’t think so on the iPhone
