I've been using zsh with starship prompt for a while. One small pain is that `home` and `end` button doesn't navigate the cursor to the beginning or end of the command line. It's the muscle memory from using bash.

I didn't get it fixed for a long time, I thought it was a hotkey issue of the terminal emulator and I never found the option to fix it in preferences. 

Until today, I tried to google it, turns out that it's a zsh hotkey binding issue.

To fix it, add the following line to `~/.zshrc`:

```zsh
bindkey "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey "^[[F" end-of-line
```
