I can verify that for Evernote Legacy, Ctrl-A goes to beginning of the current line. I thought this was true for the new Evernote as well, but very recently (maybe after the last patch?) Ctrl-A started doing the same thing as Cmd-A, select all text in the whole document.
Many other applications support Ctrl-A for beginning of line, just like Ctrl-E goes to end of line, and Ctrl-B and Ctrl-F go back and forward one character (makes my old man emacs finger memory happy).
Can we go back to Cmd-A being the old cursor command?
