I'm usually on a PC, but recently, I've decided to give OS X a go (at work anyway). I don't have too many complaints. There is one, however, that is driving me up a wall.
Home and End don't seem to work right. What's up with that? I'm very used to Home sending the cursor to the beginning of a line, End sending it to the end of a line, Shift+Home selecting everything to the left of the cursor while sending the cursor to the beginning of the line, and Shift+End selecting everything to the right of the cursor while sending the cursor to the end of the line.
I'm rocking Snow Leopard, and I have KeyRemap4MacBook
. I try not to use it too much (after all, part of the reason I'm using OS X is to learn it), but this is one feature that I simply cannot live without. The only two things I have enabled on KeyRemap4MacBook
are
- Use PC Style Home/End, and
- Use PC Style PageUp/PageDown.
Home and End still don't work for most apps, and Shift+Home and Shift+End don't work either.
Is there any way I can get those working?
Answer
If you want to learn the OS X way, move to the beginning of the line with ⌘+← and move to the end of the line with ⌘+→. Combine with Shift to select text on the way.
