The issue of the cursor moving to the left of >>> in the
shell is
separate. See also #3851. The current action of the home
key,
released in 2.6, is from patch 1196903. @tjreedy, if in
2.6 you
type >>> syzygy and hit home, the cursor moves to the left
of the
's'. A second 'home' moves it to the left margin.
Subsequent
presses toggle the cursor between those two position.
While the
action in the shell could be special cased, I consider
this to be
cosmetic - and not only that, but moving to the left
border is
useful when you want to mark a shell region for copy/
paste. So
"won't fix" is my response to that 'complaint'. Now back
to the
subject of this patch....
