The Home and End keys scroll the page to the top and bottom, but the focus does not move. They are therefore of limited use to people using keyboard navigation.

Hmmm - I just tried in FF, Chrome, IE11, and Edge and 'home' works as I would expect ('end' as well).

Thank you, what troubles me is that I'm being told that it no longer works that way in Browsers.

The 'home' key has always worked well for me (outside of AT). I thought when I tested with VO the home key worked as well.

Subject: [WebAIM] Short cut keys
As a JAWS and NVDA user, I've always used control + home to get to the top of a page in Browsers. I also thought that keystroke also worked outside of Assistive Technology.
That assumption apparently is not true. So, I've been looking on different sites for consistent keystrokes to get to the top of the page. What am I missing?
