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”.

    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.

      PgUp and PgDn are also extremely useful when scrolling through logs

      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.

      Home / End to navigate

      Shift home/end to select text

      add CTRL to navigate the whole doc / page

      add shift again to select whole page

      I use them constantly, but I’m flipping between excel (/sheets), web, CLI, GUI most days

      I really miss home and end on my laptop keyboard. (Hate needing to use the Fn+Home key each time.)

      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.

          I use a crkbd/corne keyboard so I also don’t have these keys on there either. Just a waste of space imo. Clearly I’m in the minority though.
