Comment (by Presskopp):

 To clarify:

 The Home/End keys should take me to the beginning/end of the string in the
 **input field**, or to make it short:
 The input field should behave like any other usual input field, **as long
 as it has focus**.

 autocomplete-list

  An HTML input with type="text" is used for the textbox so the browser
 will provide platform-specific editing keys.

  When a descendant of a listbox, grid, or tree popup is focused, DOM focus
 remains on the combobox and the combobox has aria-activedescendant set to
 a value that refers to the focused element within the popup.
