What feature would you like to see?
I can't find whether this exists already and haven't been able to guess what the command is if it does.
I can go to start or end of line, but I can't go to start or end of a multi-line prompt. This is troublesome when I've pasted a bunch of stuff or written a lot.

move one space to the right (right arrow) then hold shift and hit down arrow til you are at the end. Same works to go up but be careful it will go to the previous prompt after start of the multi-line :)
Agreed, we need some better navigation here in general -- but sharing my muscle memory tip.
Thank you!
@techjoec I just tested this in iTerm2 on latest Codex release and it didn't work, it only resulted in the cursor moving up/down lines one at a time... I also checked that I have no special key binding assigned in my iTerm2 profile to shift+arrow.
This feature request hasn't received enough upvotes, so I'm going to close it.
i realized you can simply hold down ctrl-e at least
