I believe those motions are broken.

In Chromium 16 it seems that trying to type $, % or ^ just translates to 4, 5, or 6 numeral respectively. So, for example, typing "^w" repeats the word motion 4 times. Instead, the cursor should jump to the beginning of the line (^) and then move over one word (w).

In latest Firefox Aurora $, % and ^ are just ignored. So typing those motions has no effect at all.
