It seems it does. Thank you.

That is a very strange keyboard shortcut when the home and end keys exist though.

Edit: It seems that Ctrl+A actually moves back to just after the most recent newline. That is not the same thing as moving back to the start of the line.

These keyboard shortcuts are also used in emacs; I'm not sure if that's the source of their inclusion in MacOS or if they have a common ancestor between them.

What's the difference between "just after the most recent newline" and the start of the line?
