[Sanjeev Kumar.S]

I get crashes on the same line again and again:

There are two functions I've been using for years which allow me to
use the home and end keys as follows:

press once goto beginning/end of line
press twice goto beginning/end of window
press thrice goto beginning/end of buffer

Those functions are:

(defun chb-home ()
(interactive)
(if (not (bolp))
(beginning-of-line)
(if (eq this-command last-command)
(cond
((not (= (point) (window-start)))
(move-to-window-line 0)
(beginning-of-line))
(t
(goto-char (point-min)))))))

(defun chb-end ()
(interactive)
(if (not (eolp))
(end-of-line)
(if (eq this-command last-command)
(cond
((not (= (point) (save-excursion
(move-to-window-line -1)
(end-of-line)
(point))))
(move-to-window-line -1)
(end-of-line))
(t
(goto-char (point-max)))))))

I bind them like this:
(global-set-key '[(home)] 'chb-home)
(global-set-key '[(end)] 'chb-end)

Very convenient.

Regards,
Stefan

You hit. The format string crumbles and turns to dust.
