What's Wrong?

In the chat window of the VS Code Claude Code extension, pressing the Home or End key on the keyboard doesn't move to the start or end of the line. Both Home and End do move to the start/end of the line in the VS Code editor as well as the VS Code built-in AI chat. I consider this a bug since other areas in VS Code respond to the Home/End keys, but I see an argument for feature request as well since Cmd+arrow are the typical keyboard shortcuts for OSX (and those work just fine)

VS Code keyboard shortcuts list Home/End as official shortcuts to move to the start/end of a line: https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-macos.pdf

Claude Code for VS Code v2.1.231

What Should Happen?

Pressing Home should move to the start of the line, End should move to the end of the line
