Reprogramming for the End Key Please

Currently, the "End" key (just above the 'up arrow' key on many keyboards) is a hotkey for sending a user to the commons area of a world. Considering the end key's position on most keyboards, this can be very inconvenient. Instead of travelling forward, a user is sent to the commons. I have while pressing the forward key leaned on the end key to port to a commons area. Please reconsider reprogramming this key or allowing users to reprogram hotkeys.

Consider using A, D, S, W keys instead of the arrows for moving. That keeps you away from the End key.

We can change the keyboard shortcuts. I posted this on Wizard101central.com:

http://www.wizard101central.com/forums/showthread.php?397911-We-Can-Remap-Keyboard-Shortcuts

That post includes two links with a "guide" on how to do it, and the current list of shortcuts.

And on post #12 on page two of that post, Professor Greyrose replied too.

So yes! So many times I've done that, and even more times I mark my location! So... many... minigames.......

After reading the above referenced 'solution' which is sitting in a graveyard on a noncompany site that KI has no control over, I am now asking that you change the config file to reprogram this one key. How about ctrl + 'c' for commons.

They already said they'd consider discussing it, and they also said they don't care if you change it yourself. It's really a non-issue for most players. If you have a major problem with it, change your bindings like that first link shows you how.
