[news.eclipse.tools] Re: 2.1/M5 Why is the Home Key == first char on lin

["Philippe Mulet" <philippe_mulet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I fully agree with David. I would not mind an extra key press on HOME to do
some "smart" thing, but the obvious behavior should be preserved by default.
If standard key bindings are intercepted to trigger some "smart" behavior,
then I may simply want a common option to have them all revert to
"non-smart" mode.
