Actually only one modifier; Ctrl.

Home		beginning of line
End		end of line
Ctrl + Home	beginning of document
Ctrl + End	end of document

Fairly simple, huh? But I agree, these shortcuts should definately be
documented.

I also think that these shortcuts are fairly simple to remember. What
does "a" in Ctrl + a for beginning of line come from? The only thing I
can think of is "Anfang".

I stand by my opinion that I would like Ctrl + a to select all text by
default, not jump in lines. The latter is only what people heavily used
to emacs would expect.
