STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a page with both horizontal and vertical scrollbars, such as
   http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/
2. Scroll down and to the right.
3. Hit "home" twice.

ACTUAL RESULTS
   First hit of "home" brings you to the top of the document, scrolled right.
   Second hit does nothing.

EXPECTED RESULTS
   I'd like the second hit of "home" to send me to the left, to the origin, if
   I'm already as high as I can go.
Keywords: helpwanted
This would be nice for pages that only scroll horizontally, such as http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi-24/mi-24.html.

Maybe Ctrl+Home could do this, rather than Home x2.
To add more generality to this, pressing 'home' should always return you to the top left of the page. Safari/Chrome follow this behavior.
