Expect end key to go to end-of-line, but it goes to end-of-chapter

Thanks Rose! There are many possible behaviors here. It could go to end of a sentence, a paragraph, or end of the chapter. By end of line did you mean sentence or paragraph? I've seen editors do all three, so there's not a clear convention here, but I'm curious what you use the end key for (e.g., to start adding to the end of a paragraph?)

By line I did mean line, but sentence or paragraph could be understandable as well. The main way I use the end key is: I write some words, I realize I made a typo earlier in the current sentence, I navigate back to the mistake, fix it, then hit the end key to move back to the point I was writing at (so, to skip just a few words). I agree there's some range of variation in what it does.

Looking at it again as I update my latest chapter today: I think it's not exactly going to the end of document as a result of the end, but that the editor UI scrolls up and down a bunch any time that I do a navigation command.
