I added Home/End to Pd-extended and submitted a patch to the  
tracker.  Ctrl-A would be tricky on Windows and GNU/Linux since that  
is also select-all, but I added it on Mac OS X, since that is a  
default binding on Mac OS X text apps.

This change is all in pd.tk/u_main.tk so you could easily add your  
own bindings, no compiling necessary.
