God, the default behavior drives me nuts! In case you’re not “in the know,” pressing the “Home” key on your keyboard if you’re using a Mac will scroll whatever window you’re in to the top — on a Windows computer, if just sends the cursor to whatever line you’re currently typing on.<\/p>\n

Well, “to each technology its own and all,” but I’m used to Windows’ behavior, so I’m going to have to change that if I’m going to type on a Mac.<\/p>\n

So, I set out to look for a way to change it, and found this site on the web<\/a> — pretty straight forward, if you ask me!<\/p>\n

Just add the following lines to your “~\/Library\/KeyBindings\/DefaultKeyBinding.dict.” file (if it doesn’t exist, create it):<\/p>\n

{
\n\/* Remap Home \/ End to be correct :-) \/
\n“UF729” = “moveToBeginningOfLine:”; \/<\/em> Home \/
\n“UF72B” = “moveToEndOfLine:”; \/<\/em> End \/
\n“$UF729” = “moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:”; \/<\/em> Shift + Home \/
\n“$UF72B” = “moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:”; \/<\/em> Shift + End *\/
\n}<\/p>\n

And that’s it! Just restart any application that you want to reflect this behavior and you’re good to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
