> 1. with a single Home key press to go to the start of display line (as in many other editors) instead of a start of real line

deselect `menu->Edit->Preferences->Editor->Features->"Smart" home key`

> 2. with a single Shift+Home combination to select to the start of display line (as in many other editors), instead of.. How am I supposed to select to the start of display line, if Alt+Shift enables the column-editing mode?

Try after de-selecting the above option.

> 3. with the subsequent press of (Shift +) Home key to go to (select) the start of text on that line, and with the subsequent presses of Home key to alternate between start of line and start of text (smart Home key functionality)

Indeed what smart home key does if the option above is selected, except it goes to the start of the text before the start of the line.

Basically what you want is for the current "smart" home key to go to start of line before start of text, but, otherwise be as it is.  

Well, if someone wants to make that another option it should be ok, but not as a replacement of the existing functionality.
