Description
One can't jump to the beginning/end of the filename input with the Home/End keys.
According to its [documentation](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/brick-0.47/docs/Brick-Widgets-Edit.html#t:Editor), the Bricks Editor only supports Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E for that.
We could manually register an event handler and match on EvKey events with KHome/KEnd, but I'm not sure if/how it's possible to change the cursor position in the editor…
I'll just leave this here as a reference for anyone who encounters the same behaviour; it doesn't necessarily need to be "fixed". :)

Research direction
The issue is in the 'New filename' input, which uses the Brick Editor widget. Look at the Brick documentation for the Editor type and its event handling. Find where the input field is created and events are processed, likely in a UI event loop. Investigate how to register a custom event handler for KHome and KEnd keys and how to programmatically set the cursor position in the editor.
