Workaround for Home/End keys not working in input fields

TinaDanielsson

It's driving me crazy that it isn't possible to use the Home and End keys in a normal way in place and date fields on FamilySearch anymore. I can't say how many times a day I use Shift+Home to mark and replace/delete everything I just wrote. And not just on FamilySearch of course 😅

There are at least 4 other posts about this Home/End issue and it seems that some only want to put the marker at the beginning or the end of text. I have a workaround that can be used in both cases.

Ctrl+A marks the entire text. Press Arrow left or right key once to go to start or end of text.

This is not suggested as a permanent solution. Using the Home key to navigate and manipulate text is default behavior and thus ingrained in muscle memory.
