Accelerated scrolling makes the home key superfluous. Just scroll "fast".

  Yeah, unless the doc is dozens+ pages long. Say, a book on a single page. Then it’s real nice to have a key sequence to get around. Going to the start or end of a long document is an infrequent enough operation I think a two hand sequence is fine.

  I use both home and end constantly while coding. Writing text not so much, but it still does happen. Sure, you could do without, but...

    On a mac you'd use Control-A and Control-E to navigate to the beginning and end of a line. IIRC Home and End navigate the document, not the line. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201236 https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201236

      Hm, that would indeed be an alternative. I never tried hooking up a (windows-) keyboard to a mac, but don't see why it shouldn't work. Question is if the software or editors support the key layout.
