Linux: Up/down keys while on the top/bottom row to trigger home/end behavior

[friday]

Editing text in Mac Os (including Sublime Text) supports pressing the up key while being on the top row to skip to the start of the line (like the home key), and pressing down on the bottom row to skip to the end (like the end key).

Sublime Text for Linux however doesn't do this.

The other text editors for Linux that I tried out supports this, so it seem to be the de facto standard:

• gedit (gnome)
• Kate (KDE)
• mousepad (Xfce)
• Atom
• VSCode

I'm using v3.1.1 Build 3176 for Arch with Gnome in case this matters.

Can confirm on Arch. Interesting that I never noticed this before, although I do use the down key at the end of the file quite often.

This is controlled by the move_to_limit_on_up_down setting FWIW

@jskinner That did it. Sorry, and thanks for the help!

I'm assuming this makes the issue invalid and should be closed, but I'll await confirmation since it 1. was confirmed 2. the defaults for Linux may be questionable.

We've changed the default setting for this on Linux in build 3190
