When browsing web pages, the Control + Home key is a convenient shortcut to return to the top of the page. Mouse scrolling is useful for minor movements, but for longer scrolls, it becomes cumbersome, requiring use beyond just the fingertips, extending to the base of the fingers.
However, since the fall of 2023, the functionality of Control + Home, Control + End, and related Page Up/Down keys has been completely disabled on ChatGPT pages. This makes it particularly inconvenient when trying to review the conversation history, as it always displays the end of the conversation, prompting moments of, "What did we say at the beginning again?"
Nonetheless, I have recently discovered a workaround.
It involves clicking the button that is circled (in essence, the button to return to the end of the page).
By pressing this ↓ button, the page initially scrolls down, but then, for some reason that is not entirely clear, keys related to page navigation like Control + Home start working again.
To reiterate,
1. Scroll up the page slightly.
2. The ↓ button appears as the bottom of the page becomes partially obscured.
3. Deliberately press it once to scroll the page down.
4. This action somehow enables the unrestricted use of browser navigation buttons like 5. Control + Home and Page Up.
This is what it's all about.
It feels like a true workaround, tricking the program in a way. While GPTs and video generation are well and good, lately there have been issues when entering long texts into text forms, and above all, I really wish they would focus on solidifying these basic aspects of the UI first.
