How to go to beginning and end of line in ordinary text boxes
When I'm not in vim, how do I go to the beginning of a line in something like Firefox search bar or Google Docs with a keyboard shortcut? How would I replicate macOS's command + arrow keybind.
I'm in 20.04.
Solution 1:
Generally use the Home key to move to the beginning of input field and End key to move to the end.
You can also use Ctrl + arrow key to move direction one word at a time. For example Ctrl + Left Arrow to move to previous word.
Solution 2:
In most applications you can use Emacs-style cursor motion commands:
- beginning-of-line = Control-a
- end-of-line = Control-e
