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”.

Fellow deutans, fuck you

Gosh thanks. I was wondering why there are only two colors in this chart.

Smells like windows if End is God Tier but Home isn’t. On the command line being without either would kill my speed something fierce

Not even just windows - i’ve used it a lot on windows systems - but yeah, this rather carries the scent of a skills issue

On SSH that button is a killer, even works in vim. For home I never found any use.

oh shit it actually goes to the beginning of a line, instant upgrade to god tier

How long have you been programming?

Ctrl-a and Ctrl-e are much faster to type than home/end and do the same thing (assuming a standard readline-enabled command line).

All the keys in the cluster above the arrow keys are really too hard to reach to be of real practical use, IMO. Actually that includes arrow keys as well. Just too far from home row.

Is this a joke I’m too set -o vi to understand?

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.

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

Wait doesn’t Shift + I just type “I”?

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

~~Or CTRL-{left arrow}~~

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

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 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.

Insanely useful editing CLI

Apple didn’t think so on the iPhone

Pressing ScrLk twice and then the number of the port switches to this port on the KVM switch in the office. Very specific use case, but still.

Pause … I have no idea. If I remember correctly you can, well, pause terminal output with it, but I never tried.

The rest of the keys I use regularly.

what, no SysRq?

boo!
