Research direction

Start by locating the Rust editor's keyboard handling for Home and End and how Shift extends selections. Done means Shift+Ctrl+Home selects from the cursor to the top of the file and Shift+Ctrl+End selects to the bottom, with the behavior verified in the relevant tests or manual editor use.
