Hello. I am trying to move to the visual beginning-of-line. If I set
toggle-truncate-lines, I get something which *looks* like a paragraph,
instead of a chopped line. For example:
My text is chopped in the middle
of the text like this %%
without toggle-truncate-lines, I would have to scroll past the end of
the screen. I will now use |·| as the indicator for my point. If I hit
C-a, when I am here:
My text is chopped in the middle
of the text like this %%|·|
My point goes to the real beginning of the line (which looks like a
paragraph on my screen).
|·|My text is chopped in the middle
of the text like this %%
I want to know if there is a command to go to the visual beginning of
the line:
My text is chopped in the middle
|·|of the text like this %%
Thanks!

Sorry! Of course there is a way to do that:
<home> runs the command beginning-of-visual-line

No, it actually does not, at least globally. Though there may be some major mode, where are C-a and <home> indeed acts differently by default, I do not remember.
In any case, may it be, that M-x visual-lines-mode is what you are looking for?
