Karabiner-elements: Mapping PC Keyboard Home/End to "Home"/"End"
The behavior of the Home/End buttons from an external keyboard is not moving to the cursor to the beginning/end of line. Karabiner-EventView is reporting the Home key as Fn+Home and the End key as Fn+End. How can I improve my rule so that it will work?

Home/End can move to the cursor to the beginning/end of line by changing "mandatory" to "optional. However, I ran new into a new issue, where Shift + Home & Shift + End were not behaving as expected. I came up with this fix, but it seems messy. Can anyone improve on it?

Gaulomatic, you're a hero. Much better than the Cmd-A and Cmd-E which comes as a standard.
