Home/End keys not working (macos Mojave, AffPub 1.7.0.174)

[JohnPet]

On my Mac, when I'm editing the text within a frame, the expected keyboard shortcuts Home and End (on my extended keyboard) or Cmd-Right and Cmd-Left, respectively, don't do anything. It would be great if they did!  (Macos Mojave, AffPub 1.7.0.174)

(I have no extended keyboard) – Command-key plus Arrow-key do work:

Command-Up: Moves text cursor to the begin of the text. (– is this what you mean by "home"?)
Command-Down: dto ... to the end of text.

Command-Right/Command-Left: Moves text cursor word-by-word forward or backwards.

Control-Right/Control-Left: Moves text cursor to the end/start of a line.

(p.s.: those shortcuts mostly work systemwide, for instance here in the browser, too. They are barely releated to or programmed by an application.)

Sorry, yes, I should have been clearer. Cmd-Right/Left does indeed move word by word for me in AfPub. However, the macos standard is for Alt-Right/Left to move the cursor word-by-word, and for Cmd-Right/Left to go to the beginning and end of the current line (i.e. the same as Home or End on an extended keyboard, or indeed on Windows or Linux). Ctrl-Right/Left does indeed duplicate the Cmd-Right/Left behaviour on macos, but (for me at least) isn't the standard navigation method.

Is there a reason AfPub departs from the standard keyboard-navigation behaviour?

The cmd and arrow keys are for things like paragraph leading and spacing. the home and end keys not functioning is a known issue that has been reported

Thanks

Thanks, Chris. I couldn't find it in the forums. Cmd-Up/Down for leading makes perfect sense (although the default key for this appears to be Alt-Up/Down and Alt-Cmd-Up/Down for precise changes), but changing default navigation keys doesn't. I just checked and Cmd-Right/Left/Up/Down appear not to be defined as shortcuts by default, which is good. Glad the team is on it!
