That's how I feel about Apple deeming unimportant my Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, and front-delete keys.

- mikeschinkel 13y agoRIGHT ON, BROTHER!
- roryokane 13y agoJust in case you’re not aware: the Fn key, in conjunction with the arrow keys or the delete key, let you type those keys. Though that’s certainly not as convenient as having dedicated keys. Also, you can remap different keys to those keys with the free software KeyRemap4MacBook (https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/index.html.en https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/index.html.en). For instance, you can remap \ to be forward-delete and Fn+\ to be typing ‘\’.
- acjohnson55 13y agoThat's fine and good, until you want to use key combinations that include the missing keys, particularly selection type stuff. For me, it comes up a lot in programming, writing, and file/photo management.
- __david__ 13y agoI find that Shift-Fn is particularly easy to chord since they share a boundary. I usually use pinky on Fn and ring finger on Shift.
