In jEdit 4.1, the "smart home/end" setting was removed. Now, the behavior of the HOME and END keys can be configured in the Shortcuts pane of the Global Options dialog box, just as with any other key. The HOME key can be bound to one of the following commands, for example:

- Go to Start of Line
- Go to Start of White Space
- Go to Start of Buffer
- Smart Home (default three-keystroke behavior)

The END key can be bound to one of these commands:

- Go to End of Line
- Go to End of White Space
- Go to End of Buffer
- Smart End (default three-keystroke behavior)

There are corresponding "Select to..." commands that can be bound to S+HOME and S+END too.
