Entering many of these combinations on a MBP feels like playing Twister with my hands. Also ↖? Seriously? (Where the hell is the "Home" key on a current Mac laptop?)

  Actually, I believe it's fn-left.

"Where the hell is the "Home" key on a current Mac laptop?" On mine, it's the right Command key. And End is the right Option key. I decided I needed Home and End way more than I needed another set of Option and Command. Also, Eject is remapped to (forward) Delete, and Capslock is now Control. Here's the program I use: http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/

Home is C-a (hold control, hit a), End is C-e. Delete-forward is C-d. Delete-line is C-k. C-o inserts a newline after your cursor without moving it. To help start using these, go into your keyboard options to remap "caps lock" to "ctrl", your pinky will thank you.

  I was aware of the Emac-isms (as I think of them) of C-a and C-e for start and end of line in the terminal and elsewhere in Mac applications. But do those two serve the same function that Home does in applications where Home and End send you to the start or end of the whole page? To put it in terms I'm more comfortable with, I thought that in some contexts Home was like Vim's gg. For example, I just opened Safari. fn + right arrow brings me to the bottom of the page; fn + left arrow brings me back to the top of the page (home and end). In that case, C-a and C-e do nothing. I'm not really sure if you're wrong or I'm very confused or both at this point. But I don't think C-a and C-e are exactly Home and End. (I suppose it doesn't help that in a browser, there's another Home - ^⌘H in that case.)
