#26 Make Home/End Keys send Control-A/E

[Who do you think I am?]

The PC-style home/end functionality is wonderful, but unfortunately Terminal, when presented with the command-left arrow or command-right arrow key combinations, thinks it's more appropriate to change terminal windows than to pass the PC-style home/end sequences to the terminal application.

I've noticed that everything I've tested, Terminal included, also responds to control-a and control-e with the PC-style home and end functionality. I believe that modifying the PC-style home & end keys functionality of DoubleCommand so that they create the control-a/e combinations instead of the command-left/right arrow combinations will make the setting work in more applications.

Good in theory, unfortunately this only covers moving to beginning or end of line, not selecting -- many apps that support Ctrl-A/E don't also respond to Shift-Ctrl-A/E (e.g. Firefox, any Carbon app which includes Finder and iTunes... basically anything not Cocoa).

Problem is Terminal, Adium, and a lot of other applications have a very different reaction to Cmd+Left/Right. Why not make both be options and/or making them options for separate applications?
