And keeping your interface accessible to someone who can't use the Home and End keys allows it to be used by someone who's using PuTTY on Windows to SSH to a gateway and then SSH from there to a firewalled computer that's running your application. And yes, I do exactly that, and yes, for some reason Home/End don't always work. One day I'll probably figure out what the issue is, but for now, I'm just glad there are baseline text editors that don't need such keys... Technology moves on, but not everywhere.
