RFE: map Ctrl+Home to Home, and map Ctrl+End to End

[DIV]

Hi, Tracker folk.

I think I have touched on this in the past, but I feel it's worth raising again.

Would you please be able to consider implementing a tiny tweak to the hotkeys so that when navigating a document,

• Ctrl+Home will have the same effect as Home (and Shift+Home), and
• Ctrl+End will have the same effect as End (and Shift+End).

There are a number of common (*understatement*) applications, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, where Ctrl+Home is required to get to the very start of a document (Home just goes to the start of the current line/row), and Ctrl+End is required to get to the very end of a document (End just goes to the end of the current line/row).
I guess I'm not the only one who's developed the instinctive pressing of Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End in an attempt to navigate within Editor, but they don't seem to do anything. While that's mostly annoying (albeit not insurmountable), the silver lining is that if those hotkey combinations are currently unassigned, then it won't detract from anything else to make the proposed tweak.

Note: I don't think it's so important to do the same for Ctrl+Shift+Home and Ctrl+Shift+End, although it probably wouldn't be harmful to add them too.

Hello DIV,

Those commands are customizable - however we are by default using Ctrl + Home for "Go to Pages":

If you change the shortcut for "Go to Pages" to something else - you should then be able to assign "Ctrl + Home" to do the same as the default "Home".

It might be that in Word Ctrl + Home is needed, but in our product and other PDF tools Home and End are taking you to the start and end of the document, and for previous next page you have Page Up and Page Down

Kind regards,
Stefan

Can I give this request a +1?
I never open PDF X-change Editor without wishing for this implementation of Ctrl+Home and End. It's implemented everywhere else. For example, the Firefox pdf viewer has it. It can't be difficult to implement, and would make a big difference to those of us who think with our fingers.
Thanks for a great product.

Hello, Opti

Thank you for the post, but... did you read my post above? What you request is already possible, you simply need to customize your shortcuts using the extensive UI customization menu we offer.

The defaults for these will not be changing at this time, but you are definitely free to make the changes you envision for your own application locally.

Kind regards,
