There is an end key in many keyboards, but some others do not have it. Can
you (or better, How would you) have ctrl+end in keyboards that doesn't?

Some VMs hardcoded that Ctrl+a = ctrl+home and Ctrl+d = Ctrl+end because
that's how old terminals work... Now, why have hardcoded ctrl+a = ctrl +
home, if you can just add a keybinding to ctrl + a?
