- I think that's better than <Ctrl-A/E>, because this method is much easier to
- keep in mind and the <Ctrl-A/E> is free for other usefull things.
- (I think <Ctrl-E> is for 'e'nd, but what is the 'A' for? In German it would
- be 'Anfang' [=beginning] and 'Ende', but UNIX isn't German?!)
-
- <Shift-up/down arrow> should be something like 'page up/down' and <Ctrl-
- (shift)-up/down> something like 'go to the beginning/end'.

- I think the same.
