If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.
OC, feel free to share.
EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

Agreed, but I am more of a "Shift + I" kind of guy
Wait doesn't Shift + I just type "I"?
Only if you are in insert mode. If you are in normal mode, Shift-I moves to the beginning of the line and then enters insert mode.
That’s some arcane gobbledygook. I think you mean M-m
Esc-meta-alt-ctrl-shift + m
Tied my left hand into a pretzel trying that one
Ah, I see you're a nerd of culture as well.
To kill the joke, they're talking about the popular and mode-based editor VIM where in normal mode each key on the keyboard does an action
Yeah when I searched for "insert-mode" from another comment, the next suggested result was "insert-mode vim" and "insert-mode visual studio" (which IIRC is just aping vim), plus it's /c/programmerhumor so I had a feeling that it would be vim shenanigans.
~~Or
CTRL-{left arrow}~~~~I think, I'm going off muscle memory~~
That jumps left one word rather than to the start of the line in everything I can think of
Nope you're right, it was
Fn+{{left arrow}}on mine. I don't use it often thoughCtrl+A does do that though if you wanted a Ctrl way of doing it
