I'd never even tried to use home/end in a shell, but you're right.

Going OT from this already OT sub-thread, I don't like using home/end, on
destkop keyboards they are out of the way and on laptops they often
require a double key press, so it's simple to use Ctrl-A/E to start with.

It does here, but didn't on a Fedora install I recently did on a VPS. I
copied my profile to the VPS and now Del works. I barely changed the
default Gentoo config, but now you've mentioned home/end it will annoy
me until I find a fix :(
