Since I am lazy, I don't want to look for Home or End (some keyboards really suck for them!), so when I just want to jump to somewhere near to the end, I only keep pushing Down, and wait for the cursor to stop. And, this is consistent with Dired mode in Emacs, Directory Listing in VIM, and, of course, with GRUB Legacy. Regards, Okuji
