Description
I would expect these to move the cursor to the start/end of the textbox just like in a native text area. They should be able to drag the highlight as well when shift is held like the arrow keys do
This behavior reproduces for me on Windows+Chrome on the React Select demo page: https://react-select.com/home
Apologies if this should have been filed as a feature request.

Research direction
Start with the reproduction on the React Select demo page at https://react-select.com/home and inspect the search box's keyboard handling. Verify Home and End cursor movement, including Shift-held selection, against the native textarea behavior. Done means both keys move the cursor correctly and preserve selection behavior on the demo.
