I am enjoying the new features in ND2. Yeah

within Text Boxes Cursor Left & Right as well as Shift-L&R, Ctrl-L&R are operating as expected.
also the the Ctrl-Home&End keys are operating as expected.

What is missing are the Home and End keys to quickly move to the start and end of a line.
I am hoping this is simple, maybe an attribute of the Textbox Object that you can enable and WooHooo!

Hi RoyReddy,

I've just double-checked HOME/END on Windows 7, 10 and Mac High Sierra also.. all working as expected for me, going to the beginning/end of the current line!

Are you using a laptop maybe, or a non-full size keyboard - these often need an FN function-type key to be held down for certain keys that have multiple assignments to get around the reduced size!

I'm using a full size keyboard with number keypad, btw..

Thanks for the confirmation.
I am using a full size keyboard as well on a win7 desktop

I was very curious. I went back in to see what I was experiencing. Created a new doc and added a Text box. All the keys operate as expected.

scratched my head. What had I seen that I reported.
ahah, the text in the attached Diagram. Here is where the Home and End keys were not operating.
example on the "Am Pentatonic" line.

247

Is the Text different here? Header/Footer type text?

what the heck
when I open the Example "Minor Pent Position 2" Diagram the Home and End are operating fine

baffled.

Then I create a New Doc from 'One Landscape' the Home and End are operating fine on the Header text
Now Scale Generate Diatonic/Minor Pentatonic between fret 5 & 9 Key of A, set Title is OFF
@100% zoom.
the Home and End are operating fine on the Header text

@75% zoom, @50% zoom, @125% zoom,
the Home and End are NOT operating

back to @100% zoom.
and the Home and End are operating fine on the Header text
attached as New Document(3)

I went back to the Example "Minor Pent Position 2" Diagram
@100%, @75% zoom, @50% zoom, @125% zoom, @150%
the Home and End are operating fine. I get to these zoom levels with CRTL-MouseWheel

If I drag the zoom to other levels
@92%, @112%, @121%, @133% zoom, @142%
the Home and End are NOT operating

If I drag the zoom to other levels
@110%, @135%, @140%
the Home and End are operating

let me know if I can help further.

also I would like to offer,

at your discretion move this to a bug forum

and spent a bunch of time collecting test cases for you. that may imply I see this as a bfd. that is not the case.
there are several easy work-arounds, no apparent negative impacts.

so I see this is a low priority buG

now it may make you curious, as it did for me. You may lie awake one afternoon wondering if this is related to another scale/text defect behaviour. well then it is entirely up to You ;)

Thanks for looking into it so thoroughly!!

Seems to be happening on any text boxes, regular ones or fretboard titles/footers - and it's definitely the zoom not being 100% that's causing it. Even more strangely, in a text box with lots of lines/paragraphs, home/end works on some of those lines when zoom isn't 100%, but on others it doesn't.

I've raised a dev ticket so we get this one fixed :) This'll probably be a 'fun' one to debug lol
