Show Notes
The other day I reserved an email form listener David Muller he asks;
On a PC’s keyboard there are Home and End keys. What is the Mac equivalent?

Well as you know Windows keyboards have End and Home key and Mac keyboards dont, You probably are looking for HOME & END keys or have a windows keyboard hooked up to your mac and the keys dont work. Well there is a news for you guys, So But don’t panic, Apple has their own weird way of doing things. Lets see how a few of the keys which we were using on a PC work in Mac.

The Home key has now been remapped to – Command + Left Arrow
and the End key is now – ⌘/Command + Right Arrow

The Page Up and Down keys had also changed.
They are now remapped to – ⌘/Command + UP Arrow and Command + Down Arrow

You also may have noticed that the delete button on a mac keyboard works like Backspace in a PC. So where the hell is delete button?
Press Fn + Delete. This gives you the functionality of a delete key in a PC.
Deleting a file? – Press ⌘/Command + Delete

One neat thing that might just work on your mac is these commands
⌃/Control + A this moves the cursor to beginning of paragraph, ⌃/Control + E moves to end of paragraph, and Option/Alt + left or right arrow, this moves the cursor between words.
