Applied Parameters: None

Summary

This command enables you to use the keyboard to move the text cursor to the beginning of the current line in the current document.

Access

Access to this command is made using the Home keyboard shortcut only.

Use

After launching the command, the text cursor will jump to the beginning of the current line.

Tips

  1. If the Smart 'Home' key option is enabled, on the Text Editors - General page of the Preferences dialog, then using this command for the first time will jump the cursor to the first non-space character in the current line. With the next Home key press, the cursor will jump to the beginning of the line, and so on. This Home key behavior matches that of the Microsoft™ Visual Studio™ product. Disable this option and the Home key will always cause the cursor to jump to the beginning of the current line.
