Home and End buttons no longer function

Recently the Home and End buttons no longer function when navigating Modules. I teach for three different districts, and the same loss of functionality has occurred at each of them, so the issue is with Canvas, not local to a particular school or district.

Please restore this function ASAP. It is something I use daily.

Hi @ayankee,

I just tested this for my instance, and I do see what you mean. When you load the modules page and try to click the home or end keys on the keyboard, nothing happens. However, if you click on any whitespace in the modules area first, the buttons then work as expected. I have a feeling it's related to now the HTML structure is coded behind the scenes (possibly to reduce cases of double scrollbars). It may not be the greatest, but would clicking somewhere to get the functionality back be at least a temporary workaround for you? I'd definitely suggest that you contact Canvas support if you can so they can create a ticket about this and pass it along to developers.

Hope this info helps!

Hello @ayankee - I just double checked courses I teach and I am not seeing Home nor End buttons within the Modules area. I do have the Home button on the course navigation menu, but that is different.

Would you be able to share a screen capture of these buttons? That will help me envision usage. Perhaps your institution added these buttons to your instance of Canvas?

Hi @ayankee - just as @Jeff_F mentioned, there are no built-in/Canvas-built Home or End buttons in Modules. I suspect they were created by someone at your institution, or from someone who created the content, and perhaps you received a copy of that content. It sounds like you may need to replace the Links on your Home and End buttons -- they may be linked to something else (another course, perhaps?)

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
