Lightroom: Many times while working with a large number of images (any amount for that matter) while viewing using the filmstrip,especially while in the Slideshow or Loupview, but really any module. To very simply have a "HOME" and an "END" key. To very simply take you back to the beginning or the end of the filmstrip. One click, Done! No more scrolling and scrolling ! This would be HUGE!

Many years ago Lightroom had a keyboard shortcut to jump to the first or last image (in Library and Develop modules).  That was removed and to date not replaced.  Not sure why as this is a massive asset to workflow.  I have discovered that Fn+arrow jumps to begining and end of images in the Library module only, but not the first or last image, which would be an incredible improvement (in both the Library and Develop modules).  Is the only way to acheve jumping to first and last to use a plug-in such as Any Source Plugin as noted John Rellis 

Shameful that Adobe have not re-introduced this vital sortcut (and indeed customisable keyboard shortcuts generally)

Hope soon remedied 🤞

The Any Source plugin now provides First Photo and Last Photo commands to which you can assign keyboard shortcuts.  (I've assigned them Ctrl+left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow.) It works on both Windows and Mac.

Not perfect but the best workaround yet.  Thanks!

Try Ctrl+d (which deselects all photos), then Left arrow for Home, Right arrow for End. I'm building this into the next version of LRKeys Pro...

Should or can the Home/End keys function in the library mode?  I am culling through hundred of pictures and some times need to jump to the beginning or end of my current file of pictures. Can the Home key or the End key be made to do this? Would help in navigation

How do I select all the images on the left (or on the right) in a Lightroom filmstrip? i.e similar to Ctrl+Shift+Home or Ctrl+Shift+End in text editors.
There seems to be no way and I have to use shift with left/right arrows to do the selection which is a cumbersome process if you have hundreds of photos

Unbelievable that LR lacks this functionality!!

I'm shaking my head while asking if LR developers are working with LR at all, just to recognize missing GUI interaction and to improve wothout having beble here to beg for 😞

It would be very helpful, if the Filmstrip would support
* HOME
* END
* PAGE_UP
* PAGE_DOWN

Especially in combination of SHIFT to select a big amount of pictures to adjust them in the same way, it would be more error-prove and faster, then using the mouse and the tiny scrollbar.

So many times I just want to go to the beginning or to the end of the filmstrip.From Library mod,develop, slideshow and print mod. I realize there are work a rounds.Sure I can scroll up or down while in a mode.And that is fine when there is only 10 images.But when editing say 4 to 600 images,All I really want is to be able to click and take me to the beginning/home or the last image/end in the filmstrip. I use a mouse and or a pen, so from on screen ,not necessarily a "keyboard shortcut" or a one or two key stroke combo , a single click from my mouse
