Why? Do you feel similar about not having a "real" dedicated key to ctrl+c / ctrl+v ?

Because I came from a laptop that had home/end/pgup/pgdn and grew fully accustomed to those keys for keyboard navigation (which is my bread and butter these days).

The alternative was to get a 15" laptop, which is slightly too big for me, so I suffer in silence and occasionally bitch about it on forums.

It takes two hands to use Fn+Up/Down instead of PageUp/PageDown keys to scroll around. These keys are for some people the most common keys used for fast nevigation in code and documents.

Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V are used far less often, and you can type them with one hand.

Doesn't seem like a big deal, I'm trying to think of a situation where I need the other hand to be free while paging or moving to end of the line.

Seems like a personal preference. I have a working trackpad so I almost never use them. Also, home/end on a thinkpad are out of reach anyway. And what's the point of 'insert' ?

I use these constantly, I don't remember touching home/end ever, pg up/dwn maybe by accident.
