- Lettera Version: 1.0.0 (4091)
- macOS Version: Latest Mac OS 26
- What were you doing:
- i am pressing the home button
- What feature did you use:
- editor
- What happened:
- i am going to the top of the page
- What did you expect to happen
- to go to the start of the line
they are pretty standard btw HOME gets to the start of the line and end gets to the end of the line try obsidian , vscode , any editor you will find it working . the pre-vim style 
if you are using 70 or 60% keyboards this is so much easier than using cmd + arrows
yeah ik that macbook keyboards doesn’t have it but i am using 60% keyboard and i use them alot i don’t think it is a problem to support
apple full keyboard has home button normally it is just macbooks
That’s just wrong. macOS does support the home and end keys. They’re not windows features. On keyboards that don’t have the physical keys, fn + arrow left is home, arrow right end, arrow up page up and arrow down page down
plus, I have question. Lettera is supposed to be for devs, researchers, and so on, so you need to accommodate all people’s workflows, not force your own workflow for something as simple as that. I thought you guys were being more flexible. I don’t have a problem with something like Bear not having it.
are you one of the devs or just someone who are saying his opinion ??? becuz i don’t see a badge
Don‘t worry! He isn‘t one of the devs.

CTRL+A should take you the beginning of the current line.

The pt is i dont see ur problem actually why you are here
- Someone corrected u earlier when you said mac doesnt support HOME button and it is windows feature
- The HOME button is available physically in full mac keyboard look at the images at apple keyboard and i gave u the link to see it
- It is more easy for people with mechanical keyboard to use instead of using arrow keys
You will not have problem if they support it. I have problem if they not
So why are u arguing here??? I don’t get it move on
We are sorry that you dont have a HOME key on your keyboard but apps are built for people to use it not for “macbooks”
Hello folks! Let’s keep this friendly and respectful.
Here’s how Home/End work on native macOS apps, which differs from Windows:
Home/End don’t move to the start/end of the current line in text editors: they move to the start/end of the document. That’s the default behavior of native macOS apps, and it’s what Lettera follows.
⌘← and ⌘→ move to the start/end of the line on macOS (or ^a/^e if you like it better).
We get that people coming from other platforms may find this confusing, but Lettera aims for a fully native macOS experience, and changing standard behaviors runs against that. If there’s enough demand, we could consider adding a setting to change Home/End behavior, but it’s low on the priority list for now.

Thanks for the clarification! A lot of mac apps have different behavior for the home key which gets confusing.
Edited to add you can use something like keyboard maestro get the home/end keys to mimic ⌘← and ⌘→
Thanks and i didn’t know this i always switch between Mac and Linux and most apps i use are cross platform and most apps i use does this behaviour. Thank you again for clarifying
tbh, you’re too rude.. i expected Danillo or Matteo to delete your comment.
I didn’t think so. But I’m only saying that now to provide some balance. There’s no reason to revive a settled dispute.
I wouldn’t say that if he were an old member, but this is his first post, and the way he said “sick mindset” is really disrespectful. So, expect more toxic posts and replies.
I deleted it no problem it was automically flagged by community mod by somehow it is still there
There’s a small difference ive seen in this. ⌘← and ⌘→ will move you to the start of the line you are on within the width of the text window. ^a and ^e will move you to the start and end of the entire paragraph regardless of the width of the text window.
Here is an example
Lettera underlined is where your curser is. ⌘← will move the curser to the start of that individual line, folder, ⌘→ will move you to the end of the line structure. ^a will move you to the start of the ‘line’ aka paragraph 📁, ^e will move you to the end of the paragraph editing.
if you change the width of the text window,
still having the curser on Lettera ⌘← and ⌘→ now move the curser to your and Dock. the end of the actual line your on in relation to whats visually displayed.
Over explained in case its useful for new Mac users on the forum
