Customizing the Behavior of Home and End Keys

You can configure how the Home and End keys move the cursor in the editor as follows:

1. In the IDE, click Tools > Options.
2. Expand Text Editor > Micro Focus COBOL and then click Margins.
3. Check or uncheck Pressing home/end moves caret to the beginning/end of the area.

   When the option is unchecked:

   • Pressing Home repeatedly first positions the cursor at the start of the writing area, and then at the beginning of the line.
   • Pressing End positions the cursor at the end of the line.

   When the option is checked:

   • Pressing Home repeatedly first moves the cursor immediately before the first non-white space in the current area, then at the beginning of the area, or to the first non-white space in the preceding area.
   • Pressing End repeatedly first moves the cursor immediately after the last non-white space in the current area, and then at the start of the following area.
