One of my biggest pain points with macOS, which I still haven't adjusted to after over 15 years, is the inconsistent behavior of Home and End. This "just worked" in Windows, with the same behavior in every application. On macOS it's per application which makes it so unpredictable I hesitate to even try/use it.

Alternatives would be: - Cmd+⬅ or Cmd+ (edit supposed to be a right arrow character here, but it seems HN comment strips it) - Or the linux shortcuts Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E

  What was nice about Windows was Ctrl+Home/End to go to the beginning/end of the file. On Mac, different apps use different key combos for this. Sometimes Cmd+Up/Down works, other programs that is PageUp/Down. (or maybe it is just pycharm that is goofy, it trips me up a lot).

  Hang on, how is the left arrow emoji showing up? I thought HN strips out all emojis...

Ha, my biggest minor gripe with windows is having to use Home/End rather than ctrl+a and ctrl+e. Not only are ctrl+ae universal on MacOS, they are right beneath your fingers, unlike Home/End, which are banished off to keyboard Siberia for some reason.

I wish my macOS running device had Home/End buttons. I've tried on multiple occassions to remap keys to use as those are favorites in NLE workflows. My brain just has a harder time remapping the keys than the OS.
