In an infinite scroll world, the End key should be king

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Lots of indicators of humor in there but just in case... Please don't do this. Please stop the trend of making computers as inefficient as possible for end-users.

Since when does the End key have anything to do with up/down scrolling anyways? It's always been for moving to the end of a line of text (i.e. left/right).

I propose instead using CTRL+PgDn. You know, so it actually makes sense.

"What I am proposing is simple - the End key should do what it says on the label, which is take you to the end of the web page. So for infinitely scrolling web pages, which have no end, they should just continue to load data until there is nothing left to load, or until you’ve exhausted every scrap of RAM and hard drive space your system can find."
