            Bug ID: 448258
           Summary: HOME and END key shortcuts are inconsistent
           Product: okular
           Version: 21.12.0
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: andreas.d.korb at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The shortcuts for "Go to start" and "Go to end" with the HOME/Pos1 and END keys
are inconsistent.

OBSERVED RESULT (not exhaustive list)
Okular & Kate:
Go to start: Ctrl + HOME
Go to end: Ctrl + END

Konsole:
Go to start: Shift + HOME
Go to end: Shift + END

Dolphin/Gwenview/Ark/KSysGuard:
Go to start: HOME
Go to end: END

EXPECTED RESULT
For Konsole and Kate it makes sense because HOME goes to the beginning of the
line (vice versa for END), which is the more intuitive functionality in these
cases. But still, it should be decided for Ctrl or Shift consistently as an
auxiliary key if plain Home and End are used otherwise. For Okular I don't see
a reason why an auxiliary key is necessary.

Otherwise, I'd expect plain HOME and END as the default (usually), and then, if
pressed together with an auxiliary key (like Shift or Ctrl), I'd expect some
special behavior. As an example for Okular, the proposed functionality from
this ticket would feel natural for me with Ctrl + Home/End:
