Elevator.js – A “back to top” button that behaves like a real elevator

Apple sells keyboards with Home/End keys, and they do what you'd expect (e.g. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MQ052LL/A/magic-keyboard-...). iMacs and Mac Pros come with that type of keyboard.

You can also plug in arbitrary USB keyboards, or pair arbitrary Bluetooth keyboards, to a Mac, and the Home/End keys on those will also do what you'd expect.

Apple just doesn't bother to put Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys on their laptops — presumably because they find that people don't need them very often; and that, when the keyboard's size is already constrained, people get more value out of fewer, larger keys (while requiring key-chords for some things) vs. more, smaller keys.

No, they don't. I expect pressing Home to go to the beginning of the line I am on, and I have to hit Command-Left for that, and Home does nothing of value.
