Are you saying to first hit the Reply button, then Ctrl-A, and then the down arrow? It seems so as that does move the cursor to the absolute bottom of the message. My own preference is either to reply at the top (via Ctrl-Shift-A) or do that and then manually move the cursor to a specific point if I am responding to a particular paragraph as I did here. > If you simply wish to expand the ellipsis without clicking anything, press > Ctrl-Shift-A.
