[JW Lua] Ctrl-Pos1/Ctrl-End behaviour

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

probably the same sort of problem as the F key:
When the expression tool is selected in Finale,
the Ctrl-Pos1 (=going back to beginning of document)
and Ctrl-End (=going to end of document)
do not work in JW Lua.
When other tools are selected, they work fine.
