Home key has been disabled because it might at least surprise a user unless volume is already nearly full. Not only home but 9, 8 and so on might also surprise a user.
The surprise is not so much the amount of the resulting volume but the meaning of the key; the user might have assumed that Home jumps to the first control. If the volume is too loud after pressing 9, it's easy to press another smaller digit, but it would be more difficult to remember a volume change key if the jump to 100% happens in a situation where a volume change wasn't expected at all.
(And this would be a good reason to disable the End key, too.)
So instead of disableing key, show confirmation dialog for drastic volume change.
A confirmation dialog is annoying to users who know what they're doing, and still confusing to anybody else.
Instead of having commands that require confirmation, I think it's better to have only commands whose meaning is obvious.
In this case, the jump-to-100% command doesn't seem to be very worthwhile because you could just as well press PageUp a few times. Is there a reason that you need this command, other than for symmetry with the End command?
