Put the following in your vimrc. When you press the Home key, the cursor will move to the first nonblank character on the line, or, if already at that position, the cursor will move to the first character.

function! SmartHome()
  let s:col = col(".")
  normal! ^
  if s:col == col(".")
    normal! 0
  endif
endfunction
nnoremap <silent> <Home> :call SmartHome()<CR>
inoremap <silent> <Home> <C-O>:call SmartHome()<CR>
