It woke up my wife, as I tried it on my phone when the stupid elevator music played it out loud :/ In all seriousness, I hope this will not become another 250kb JS framework we use in our projects..

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
I just switched to OS X recently and I am definitely having the reverse trouble getting used to the Cmd/Alt+Arrow I almost never have problem finding Home/End on any keyboards (been using Windows/Linux for 15+ years). Nowadays for laptop it's almost always fn+Arrow for Home/End.

#144The "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…

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.

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?
right cmd + up arrow and you end up with free cofee-hand

#148Those endless, highly volatile feeds that often can't even keep the ordering of content between page refreshes are annoying.

#150"Elevator" and "JS" reminds me of Elevator Saga. https://play.elevatorsaga.com/
