Karabinder-elements control+a and control+e for begin and end of line

README.md

Microsoft office seems to over-ride control+a to be select all and control+e doesn't seem to do anything. This fixes that.

Add the remap_for_office.json file to ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/ then go to add complex modification and you should see a new rule called "Remap for office"
