I'd like to see a command for going to the first and last pages in a multi-page document. We have the Page up and Page down keys  commands that flips the pages, but we also need a keyboard shortcut for the first (Ctrl+Page Up) and last (Ctrl+Page Down) page of a document. If only the commands were available one could assign the desired keystrokes. However, they are not to be found in the commands list. Please add them.

Hi Lars,

I agree 100% that his is needed, but I propose;

CTRL + Home and CTRL + End

instead. These commands serve this same purpose in other programs such as Word.

Also, Ctrl+Page Up & Ctrl+Page Down are both already used in CorelDRAW to change stacking order of elements.

A macro could be created to do what you seek, but this function should be built in.

 Or why not just Home and End? That would make them the same as in Acrobat/Reader. Well if we only get the commands in the commands list anyone can change them to their liking.

I forgot about the Ctrl+PgUp/Down being used already.

Hi Lars,

That's a good idea..

Here is the macro solution for this problem.

 Oh, I was just thinking of recording a macro for this myself. But I downloaded this and will try it out tomorrow. Thanks!

 Yes, they worked beautifully! Thanks a bunch! And how cool that Home and End keys were available.
