For those learning how good Home is, wait until you try CTRL + Home. Start of the file.
Also see: CTRL + End
Exactly. I feel that people shaming all these extra buttons must have been raised in the era of smartphones. They are all so useful. Well, except Insert. I still don't get the point.
Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ist like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but it works in terminals too. Very useful.
Sounds why more awkward to type than CTRL+C
Ctrl-C halts whatever is running in your terminal though. To be fair, I've always just used Ctrl-Shift-C because thats closer to my hand.
ins switches between inserting and replacing text, very useful.
I personally never find myself needed that, I just selected and overwrite instead.
I make a point of using smartphone onscreen keyboards that have these keys. They are too useful!
Ooooo! Got any examples?
Hacker's Keyboard on Android and I created a custom Squeekboard layout for my Linux phone.
Thanks!
Or they vim bindings wherever possible, then those keys are a bit redundant and harder to reach
