Home + End Keys "Fix"

[gimpyviper]

I'm sure someone has posted something like this here before, but in case no one has and in case someone new needs it here's the zip file of my KeyBindings folder that will set Home and End keys to work like in Windows.

 

What this does

 

Changes Home and End keys to move the cursor to the beginning and end of the line instead of moving to the top and bottom of the screen

Changes/Adds Shift-Home and Shift-End to select text

Changes/Adds Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End to move to the top and bottom of the document

Changes/Adds Ctrl-Shift-Home and Ctrl-Shift-End to select all the text to the top or bottom of a document

Changes Page-Up and Page-Down to move the cursor up a page or down a page. (Macs normally just shift the view, not the cursor)

 

You can always edit the DefaultKeyBinding.dict text file to add/remove whatever you want.

 

This doesn't work for all apps though, Text Edit = works, Microsoft Word = already fixed the problem, Firefox = doesn't work

 

How to install - unzip, copy the KeyBindings folder into Users/<yourusername>/Library

Restart any open application

 

Oh and this works on actual Macs, not just Hackintoshes. =) (Obviously)

Nice Fix. For a all round fix Double Command is great too.
