Topic: Shortcut for Headquarters

The home key is for going to the so-called home location. It is the location that the view is centered on when the game starts. (Some initializations and scenarios create some kind of headquarters there for the player when the game starts.)

What about the keyboards that don't have such a key? Maybe it's not that important, I did not miss this feature in the past (I have no internet-keyboard but there are other ways to quickly jump to a special location), but as you have a shortcut, everybody should be able to use it, right?

It is difficult to make the shortcuts work for everybody if they use keyboards where some keys might be missing. But if you tell us which SDL key symbol corresponds to the key (combination) that you use on your keyboard to move the cursor to the beginning of a line, it could perhaps be added to Widelands. I assume that you have the same problem when navigating in Widelands' text input widgets, both single line (Home, End) and multi line (Home, End, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End).
