Ctl-U to delete everything on the line before cursor.
Ctl-E to skip to end of line.
Ctl-A to skip to beginning of line.
Or, just use Home and End like they were intended! Kids these days….
That's horrible for muscle memory, every time I switch desk/keyboard I have to re-learn the position of the home/end/delete/PgUp/PgDn keys.
I got used to
Ctrl-a/Ctrl-eand it became second nature, my hands don't have to fish for extra keys, to the point that it becomes annoying when a program does not support that. Some mapCtrl-ato "Select all" so, for input fields where the selection is one line, I'd ratherCtrl-athenleft/rightto go to the beginning/end than fish forhome/end, wherever they are.
