CTRL vs ALT

Not sure if this is an oddity, but on my Windows 8 machine, ALT + Arrow Keys is the command to skip to the end or beginning of a line. CTRL + Arrow Keys does not work for me.

CTRL + arrow moves the cursor a whole word. Home and End move the cursor to the beginning and end of a line. ALT + arrow makes a web browser go one page back or forward.

@JeffBusch You are correct about the CTRL+arrows, but on my system (Chrome 35.0.1916.114, Windows 8) ALT+Arrows most definitely move to the end or beginning of a line when in the workspace. You are correct that they page forward and back when on a website outside of the workspace webapp.

Windows 8 is an oddity in its entirety, just do what works for you :)
