What about using CTRL-SHIFT or CTRL-ALT for styles ?
> Home - Move to top of doc
> Shift+Home - Move to bottom of doc
I prefer:
home - nothing
shift + home - move to top of doc
ctrl + home - move to bottom of doc
because "home" is near the arrows (partially between up-arrow and
right-arrow) and can be hit by mistake.

I agree since it's easier to type ctrl-W than ctrl-U with only one hand,
and closing a window is more frequent than cycling windows.

No, cf above.

I prefer the ctrl-delete solution. Moreover, typing text shouldn't deselect
the block.
