Jason, Don't forget the other keys dedicated to start/end of line: HOME & END. And there are also modifier keys which when used with the cursor keys do useful things. E.g. Ctrl-HOME to immediately move to the first character of the document; Ctrl-Left (and Ctrl-Right) to move left (and right) by word. Etc.

Perhaps you are referring to Vim or other text-based editors (where such behavior is not implemented)?Hmmm... you are right! I guess what I am experiencing this with is specific to Firefox on Linux. All of the text editors and other GTK apps seem to move the cursor consistently. I just encounter this issue and would use this feature the most in web forms I guess, and selective memory did the rest. One more question: The Gnome "Web" browser works consistently with GTK in this regard, Chromium works consistently also, why would Firefox have a different behavior? Firefox on OSX seems to work consistently with the desktop environment in this regard... I guess I'll take it up with the Firefox people. Thanks for so patiently setting me straight! I apologize for my ignorance.
