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.
Yeah, weird to see someone who appreciates the end key but not the home key.
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
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.
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.
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
That jumps left one word rather than to the start of the line in everything I can think of
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.
You don’t use Home? Home and End are my two most used keys on this list. IDEs move your cursor to the beginning of the line but after the indents. It’s God -tier.
I second this! You’re not really a programmer until you know how to use home button.
I don’t usually gatekeep, except to OP.
On Macs you can just use command left and right. Reuse keys so I get more 😬
I haven’t used literally any of the keys in this photo for years
Well, sure. I type on my laptop that doesn’t have any of these as physical keys. It’s fn+arrow keys for pg up, pg down, home, and end, for example.
Home is pretty useful actually, just like end. Ins can go fuck itself
Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ist like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but it works in terminals too. Very useful.
You never use the home button? Do you also not use the terminal?
Yeah, how is “end” in god tier and “home” in replace tier? They’re 2 sides of the same coin
I didn’t say Shift+Home. I’m talking about prepending an extremely long command with “sudo”
That’s wat ctrl+a do, go to front. Ctrl+e is go to end. Use it all the time!
I usually just navigate there with cd ~/ but on the other hand I have never even thought about home button. I’ll start using that for now on :D
That’s…not what that does. It moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.
For those learning how good Home is, wait until you try CTRL + Home. Start of the file.
Also see: CTRL + End
Exactly. I feel that people shaming all these extra buttons must have been raised in the era of smartphones. They are all so useful. Well, except Insert. I still don’t get the point.
I make a point of using smartphone onscreen keyboards that have these keys. They are too useful!
Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ist like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but it works in terminals too. Very useful.
