Actually some editors on windows do the opposite. On first press
they move to the first non-white character. Except when the curosr
is already on the first non-white, then they move to bol.
Then after each press they jump between first non-white and bol.

Personally I like to have keyboard commands as "deterministic" as
possible. This is because I am a heavy user of keyboard macros.
If I record a macro that includes a Home key, I have to be sure
what it will do on next invocation. jbol will behave differently
in this example (mark the first word on the line):

Home, C-Right, C-S-Right

(roughly: jbol, skip_word, push_mark, skip_word)

It will do the correct thing only if not at bol. If bolp(),
it will mark the second word.

OTOH in jed I can always rebind the home key to suit my needs :)
