So about a year ago – I bought a MacBook. It was a pretty amazing experience. However – after using a Windows PC for my entire life – I found my self depending on using the Home and End keys to go to start and the end of a string of text. I used to coding, selecting text faster, and alot more. But when I started using my Mac – the home and end keys didn’t have the same functionality. After searching for an answer – I finally found the solution.

If you use the ? (apple command symbol) + the right arrow - it will take you to the end of the line, which is equivalent to End on a PC. Doing the same command but pressing the left arrow will take your the start of the line, which is equivalent to Home on a PC.

So to recap:

? + right arrow = End

? + left arrow = Home

This shortcut saved me alot of time when working with coding for CSS, PHP or any other language. It can also help you when typing Papers or any time of document editing.
