The "home" key should NOT be a toggle to go back and forth between the beginning of the line and the beginning of the non-whitespace in the line, because it makes its behavior inconsistent.
Now, it's impossible (so far as I can tell) to execute ANY DEFINITIVE set of keystrokes that GUARANTEES that I'll be at the beginning of a line (without me visually checking the location of the cursor).
The reason this is important (and my previous comment RE: needing the option to DISABLE the "non-whitespace"-finding effect of the "home" key) is that a very frequent thing I do is to MOVE A LINE OF CODE via (e.g., in WordPad) BOL/Shift-DownArrow/Cut, move cursor with up/down arrows, Paste.
There's seemingly no definitive way to do this (e.g., an exact set of keystrokes that can be "memorized" by my FINGERS) in TextPad.
Am I missing something here?
