Build ID: 20090619-0625

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a new untitled text file
2. Enter enough text in the file so that you have a scroll bar
3. Hit COMMAND ARROW-UP; text caret moves to start of document (= good)
4. Hit END; text caret moves to end of document (= wrong; caret should not move)

This is just an example. The bottom line is that COMMAND-UP and COMMAND-DOWN are supposed to move the caret on the Mac, but not HOME, END, PAGE-UP, and PAGE-DOWN.

In other words, these keys should be "scroll-only", as also mentioned in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=95950#c56.


More information:
The importance of the scroll-only functionality, is that on the Mac you can use these keys to quickly look elsewhere in your document. Since the caret is not moved, you can just hit an arrow key to return the scroll position to where you were editing. This behavior is described in the Apple HIG, and it is also the way Mac editors (such as BBEddit, Xcode; and in fact, any native text area on the Mac) work.
