How often do you use the end/home keys? (Poll works now)

I just realized that some of my less-geeky friends don't even know what these keys do. How often do you guys use them?

I use them a lot when doing coding, but not for much else.

Another idea I had...what if there were a "center" key - a key that would take you to the center of a line of text. Useful?

Edit: Poll's broken I guess. Don't know what's up with it.
Edit2: After editing the poll and hitting submit a few times, it finally works..

Pretty rarely, honestly. I do often hold the control key so the arrow keys cause the cursor to jump 1 word at a time rather than just one character though.

Like cjl i barely use them too

Constantly! I'm a keyboard user through and through and learnt most keyboard shortcuts from the age of about 10 as our mouse at the time was terrible! In fact, I've already used ctrl-home and ctrl-end in this post (after missing a capital letter at the beginning!)

Poll's closed, so I'll vote here by saying: "Use them all the time". You'd have to pry them away from my cold, dead fingers...

well, since i use the console in linux a lot, i use those keys to no end (very useful), even in GUI based editors they are nice to have so you don't break the flow of typing to reach for the mouse

Between MS Office, productivity apps, notepad, and general usage the Home and End keys are invaluable!

KB shortcuts in general make life easier. I hate having to remove my hands from the kb to move the mouse and click a field just so I can go back to keying again...seems like effectively coding tab stops is no longer a priority...and accessing toolbar menus using the ALT+letter has slipped as well...

I agree. The Caps Lock key is useless and should be replaced with something much more useful like Control or Alt. Also, the grave (`), forward slash (\), Pause/Break, Scroll Lock, and Windows flag keys are completely useless and should be replaced with something useful.

Isn't the '/' a forward slash and '\' is a backslash?
I do actually use the grave (`) quite often, but I understand that most people don't and it wouldn't bother me if something more useful took it's place.
I also have little use for the backslash (\) as it's only really used for DOS/Windows. I would still like to keep this but wouldn't mind if you had to press shift for it, so maybe swap it with colon (.
I have used Pause and Scroll Lock so I would keep them (if I had to choose just one it'd be the Pause), however I also hate the Windows key, especially keyboards that give you 2 of them.
Probably also swap the square brackets ([]) with the normal ones (()).

In fact there's not much left I wouldn't change lol (NB: I use a UK keyboard).

I love those things - I hate touchpads. But, the keyboard is even better.
