My laptop doesn't have this button (you have to use a weird combination of keys). The days of everyone using a full keyboard are long gone...
what laptop?
Dell latitude.

#113The "back to top" functionality is so useful in web pages. I wish they would make a dedicated button on keyboards that just takes you to the top of the page. Better yet, it can work in other apps too! It could, for example, take you to the beginning of a line when you're writing text. Edit: Wow, I thought I was going the extra mile to make the joke obvious by saying the key should also take you to the beginning of a…

gg - go to top
G - go to bottom
You can also go anywhere on page (litterary) with single key (homework).
Much better then home/end as you usually need to hunt for those keys, or even use them with Fn modifier.

Hacker News attracts a lot of smart readers, so I'm kind of surprised that your comment actually 'fooled' people. It was very obvious sarcasm.
Plenty of Mac users out there without a “Home” button.
If I'm not mistaken, Fn + Left Arrow is Home on a Mac. Similar to Fn + up/down is Page Up/Down, and IIRC Fn + Right is End.

Ha. Now imagine one which did the opposite? You could even call them Home and End, or use arrow icons.

Movement is janky on latest Firefox on Win10, 4K screen. I don't know if that matters much, but I'll leave it here just in case you actually wanted feedback.

#117For those that don't know: on iPhone, touching the top (like near the front facing camera) works like a jump to top button in many contexts.

Cant tell if this is sarcasm or not, but "Home" key does this...
The Home key is fine if you're on a PC. On a Mac the only time you'll see one is on some extended external keyboards. It's rare, if nonexistent on Mac laptops. So you need to press Cmd+Up. Yes, it's two keys instead of one but I would argue it's actually quicker since they are both usually located on the bottom row, meaning there is less distance for your hand to travel.
I’m normally a macOS guy but I’m currently using windows full time to give WSL a proper chance. The thing I miss most is CMD+Arrow to go to the start/end of something. I think it’s a beautiful system, alt+arrow to jump a word, cmd+arrow to jump to the start/end. The home/end keys are always so hard to find especially when they could be anywhere depending on your keyboard

It still amazes me that people tolerate that as a substitute.
It's a key combo that requires two hands, for what on a regular keyboard is one finger.
Perhaps Mac people never hold a cup of coffee in their hand while using a computer?

And, of course, you can always mess with key bindings for a user by creating a file at ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict with custom overrides for whatever.
