Apple HI behavior regarding this point is very deliberate [...] Pressing page-up scrolls up one window-full without moving the insertion point. Similarly for page-down.
Sorry, I was actually talking about option-page up/down.
This does move the insertion point, and it was the behavior for this I didn't see defined.
Home scrolls to the very top, without moving the insertion point. Similarly for End. (In 1.0.2b8 Home and End behave wrong.)
Yes, this is because I change it in the default key bindings, as I previosuly did with page up/down also.
I did this because _every_ Mac user I (personally) know thinks the default (with scrolling) is not only useless, but also frustrating.
But all Mac users I know (incl. myself) didn't start using Mac before OS X, and apparently many existing Mac users did like the “scroll only”, so I removed the default page up/down key bindings. But since I never heard anything for home/end, I kept these.
I have considered removing them though (I have my own key bindings anyway ;) ).
The relevant documentation (which also lists many other standard keyboard navigation shortcuts to do the other things you want to do) is here:
