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.
