Surprised to hear there are people, presumably in tech, that don't use the end key. I go out of my way to find keyboards that have end and home. Makes it easy to get to the the of the line, or end of the word. And frustrates me to no end when I'm using the mac

And here I’m surprised there are people, supposedly in tech, that don’t just auto hit ctrl-a or ctrl-e (or ^ or $ or A) to get to the start/end of lines. To each their own, I guess.

^a and ^e don't work on Windows and most general programs for getting to the start or end of a line.

You really should say C-a and C-e, if you're referring to the emacs commands. For the vast majority of modern computer programs, ctrl+a is "Select All".
