Bug Description

I am used to pressing the Home and End keys to move the cursor to the beginning and to the end of the line respectively. For going to the top or bottom of a page or document, I am used to pressing Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End respectively. These key combinations are kind of "muscle memory" to me.

However, key combinations Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End do not work on qpdfview. I would appreciate if that could be changed to match the behaviour of most software.

At least in current versions, almost all keyboard actions are configurable via the keyboard shortcuts tab of the settings dialog. The actions you are looking for should be called "First page" and "Last page".

Every other software I know uses Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End. Could you add those shortcuts to the default bindings for these actions?

By the way, other document-based software do not go to the last page, but to the bottom of the last page on Ctrl+End.

Especially, Acrobat Reader and SumatraPDF use CTRL+home and CTRL+end for going to the first page resp. to the last pace.
