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?
They don’t. A Starbucks cup is too heavy to hold it for a long period of time.

#152The "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…
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.

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.

Sarcasm is nearly impossible to detect in writing. A tip: If it seems the whole world is a problem, it's probably not the world that is the problem.

#158Just wondering, is it possible to add a global 'back to top' button on mobile? Shall the browser implement it?
Re: Elevator.js – A “back to top” button that behaves like a real elevator
#159"back to top" is just such an epitome of how out of touch some modern design is. We had buttons on our keyboards that did this for half a century now. As for phones it should be up to the web-browser to implement it, nobody wants to use your idea of how scrolling should work. My machine already knows how I want to browse my content, don't pretend you know better.
