Hmm... Home and End shouldn't navigate cards... only the arrow keys should
do that. If you turn off the navigationArrows that takes care of the arrow
keys. To trap for Home and End keys, you need to trap the 'rawKeyDown' or
'rawKeyUp' handlers and look for the keycode 65360 (for Home) and 65367 (for
End).
