If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

On SSH that button is a killer, even works in vim. For home I never found any use.

... I'm curious what you thought it did

[–] krotti@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

translate "home" from finnish to english ;)

Oh that's interesting. You thought it was a back key? That's very interesting to me as I've been using computers since before a 'back button' on browsers was a thing.

[–] krotti@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I actually thought it was like a reset button, like when using a browser, pressing home would put you into your home page. If the name was start, like end, I may have tried to actually use it for text editing.

And those who don't want to translate it, "Home" is "Mold" in Finnish, a running joke that the button is never used lol.

I've only had issues with embedded serial consoles and things where you have to swap ctrl-h/? for backspace. But usually it's solvable with key mapping.

Also you mention vi/m but insert is red? That's the toggle switch between insert and replace mode (i vs shift-R)

How long have you been programming?
