Previously the keys were ⌃⌥← and ⌃⌥→ — I changed that to  
be consistent with Xcode and BBEdit (plus they were almost useless on  
those keys, as at least I personally would not bother using them).

It does take a few weeks to get used to ⌘← and ⌘→ for line  
movement (+ selecting/deleting), but if we get people trained to use  
the command versions, we can start to overload ⌃← and ⌃→ to  
e.g. move between cells in LaTeX tables, etc. — i.e. use those keys  
for moving a unit in the given context.

You can also do a custom bundle with two macros that move to begin/ 
end of line and has the preferred key equivalent. This will override  
native functionality assigned to the keys chosen.

That would be ⇧⌘→, likewise ⌘⌦ will delete to EOL.
