With sufficiently poor luck you might have already noticed The New Thing in the latest Discord update: Home/End keys now navigate to the start/end of the current paragraph instead of a line.

This is a tiny post about fixing that.

First, the code. You could paste it straight into a JavaScript console if you know what you're doing, or install it as a userscript.

let attrMark = "yal-undo-home-end";
let query = `div[role="textbox"]:not([${attrMark}])`;
setInterval(() => {
	for (let tb of document.querySelectorAll(query)) {
		tb.setAttribute(attrMark, "");
		tb.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
			if (e.key == "Home" || e.key == "End") {
				e.stopImmediatePropagation();
			}
		});
	}
}, 300);

Not a whole lot of code here!

It periodically finds textboxes that have not yet been tagged, tags them, and gives them a keyboard event listener that prevents the events for Home/End keys from making it to Discord's event handlers.

As for why would Discord do this to you, according to a somewhat LLM-looking support ticket reply (#57507099), it's intended and unfortunately there is no specific information on justification.

So there's that. Maybe they'll reconsider if you scream at them really loudly.
