For what it's worth, another standard behavior is Option-up moving the insertion point all the way to the top of lists (tables, menus, etc.) and Option-down moving it all the way to the bottom.  (In text, it moves by paragraph.  I assume that the relevant list-like UI classes simply implement -moveTo{Beginning,End}OfParagraph: to move to the top/bottom.)

Cheers,
Ken
