From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22.1 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001120
BuildID:    2000112020

A number of key bindings previously available in mail composition no longer
work.  For example, CTRL-HOME, CTRL-END, CTRL-SHIFT-Left Arrow, and other
CTRL-SHIFT-key combinations used to select text.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just try the keystrokes in mail composition window
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Nothing.

Expected Results:  CTRL-HOME goes to top of message body.  CTRL-SHIFT-HOME goes
to top of message body and selects text from cursor to top.  Similar behavior
for other CTRL-SHIFT key combinations.

I was able to reproduce the problem using todays build on Linux. There is also a
problem on the mac. Yet it's working as expected using Win95.

I think this would be an editor bug.  reassigning to beppe, cc'ing ducarroz.

so, what should ctrl-home do? what should the ctrl-arrow keys do?

Ctrl-home: Move cursor (and scroll) to the beginning of the buffer/line
Ctrl-end: Move cursor (and scroll) to the end of the buffer/line

In Composer on Windows 98:
- Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End move the inserion point but don't scroll the page.  
(They can also get "lost" on complex pages such as http://www.mozilla.org/.)
- Ctrl+arrows work fine.
- Shift versions work when the normal versions work and don't when the normal 
versions don't.

Only Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End (without shift) work in Navigator, though.  Is that 
intentional?

Filed bug 70154 for making (Ctrl)+Shift+Home/End work in navigator content.

Lets fix the indentation/format of the 2nd part of the diff so that it matches
what's around it.

Also what about the bindings for single line textfields?

Windows uses these bindings for input fields as well, so I suppose we should add
them there as well (if you havn't already checked this in, Kathy).  In most
cases this will just do the same thing as unshifted home/end, but we don't have
bindings for the ctrl and ctrl/shift cases now and probably should.  Not a big
deal, though.

Build 2001-03-06-05: NT4
Checked new message/compose window, Composer and input fields such as in
Preferences:

                             Windows      Linux       Mac
1. Ctrl+Home                   *            ok        **
2. Ctrl+Shift+Home             *            ok        **
3. Ctrl -->                    ok           ok        alt--> ok
4. Ctrl<--                     ok           ok        alt<-- ok
5. Page Scrolling              ***          ***       ***

* Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+Shift+Home works in new message/compose window and
Composer. It does not work in an input field. Nothing happens.

** Not sure what key sequence to use on the Mac that is equivalent to Ctrl+Home
and Ctrl+Shift+Home. I tried Alt+Home but no response.

*** Is page scrolling suppose to follow the position of the cursor? On Windows
and Linux the cursor moves but the page does not scroll. On the Mac when the
Home key is selected it appears to scroll up but the cursor seems to remain in
the same position.

[timeless]

for mac, up and down are probably like ctrl+home/ctrl+end

Comment 17

[Ninoschka Baca]

Reopening since a variety of options are not working.

For Mac, I tried Control+Home (Control+UpArrow), Control+End (Control+DownArrow) 
and no response.

Comment 18

[Kathleen :Brade]

Resolving this as fixed; this is a Linux-specific bug.  I think there is an open 
bug for the mac keybindings but I don't know what the bug number is offhand.

nbaca--make sure you use Command on Mac (and not Control).

Verified Fixed on linux.
I'll make sure that there is a bug which covers the page scrolling problem.
