 Hallo !

 No, "HOME" is to far away from the other keys. Don't want to
 move my hand that long way. 

 Serious:
 Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E for Start/end of line are well known and 
 work on allmost all (Unix-like) systems I every used.
 We should not change the use of Ctrl-A/Ctrl-E.

 I am sure, haveing Ctrl-A doing anything else than "Move to
 start of line" in a lineedit will generate BugReports about
 broken keybindings.
 (And, Ctrl-A works in terminals too, but "HOME", "END" etc.
  often screw up terminal-sessions to other systems.)

 Remember, this is KDE, "a friendly face for Unix", not WINE.
 Things that worked in plain unix (even without X11) should
 work in KDE too, just a bit more userfriendly.
