Lightbulb Home Key should open your home folder!

I was just sitting here thinking about things that i would add (or subtract) from OS X and I though "Wouldn't it be cool if I could press the 'Home' key and my home folder would pop up?" I think this shortcut would be used by a lot of people. What do you think?

download maxmenus or keyboard maestro or youpi key to remap that. for some of these apps you might have to do cmd-home. you can get them at versiontracker.

I like the idea though... kind of simple... wanna go home, click a little button called "home."

Where would "end" take you?

I had it set up so that cmd-ctrl-end restarted, cmd-shft-end shut down, and cmd-opt-end slept it, until I realized that this is built into OS X except with the eject key instead of end...
