> but a single gesture to get to the top or bottom of a doc or page is extremely handy instead of finding the scroll bar and holding down the button as the window pages, or just mashing the down-arrow. Home/End on macOS typically jump to the start and end of a document - which annoys me as I prefer Home/End to jump to the beginning and end of the current line - I just don’t like Ctrl+ArrowKeys, and the Cmd-key tires my pinky. At least macOS let’s you remap Cmd/Ctrl/Alt - I wish Windows would do the same.

Ctrl-a and ctrl-e will go to the beginning and end of a line respectively in most places on Mac. There are many of the “standard” Linux/unix keybinds available for most apps.

  Having some emacs-like text editing key bindings (^{a,e,b,f,n,p,v,y,k...}) is one of my favorite NeXTSTEP leftovers in macOS. I believe that they can be customized and extended as well.

    System Preference / Keyboard / Shortcuts lets you change most of them.

I'm reading this on a M1 Air right now and see keys across the bottom of my keyboard labeled "fn," "control," "option," and "command." So I ask, in all sincerity, which keys are home and end?

  I believe on a Mac laptop keyboard, home/end are fn-left/fn-right or cmd-up/cmd-down. Terminal is a bit different for me since they keyboard can be customized; with my configuration, fn-left/fn-right are sent to the terminal session while cmd-up/cmd-down affect the scroll bars for the window.

  Ah, sorry - I those keys aren't present on Apple's laptop keyboards: only their full-size keyboards.
