HOME & END KEY NOT FUNCTIONING IN FCP w MBP

My home and end key do not work on my MacBook Pro. However, on an extended keyboard on a G5 those keys transport you to the beginning and end of the timeline. Is there a way I can get them to work on my laptop? Thanks!

Isn't that because those keys don't exist on the laptop?
You can map those commands to any key you want. They keyboard layout is completely customizable. TOOLS>KEYBOARD LAYOUT>CUSTOMIZE.

Home/End keys do not work in FCE4

I'm on an Intel iMac with the iMac keyboard with numeric keypad, so I have dedicated Home and End keys, not the Fn keys. The keys work in other applications (such as this text box) but have no effect in FCE at all. Other keys, like alt-R to render and J, K, and L all work, just not Home and End ... so far.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tubbs

So I've done a lot of searching and found that people in other countries seem to have this issue a lot with FCP, but I find no mention of it with FCE. I'm in the US, btw, with US settings. In their cases the work around is to go into System Preferences->International and change the language to English before they launch FCP.
I tinkered with that and never could get it to work.
However, what I did find is that I apparently do have some sort foreign keyboard setting somewhere, because I appear to have some foreign mappings. My home and end key functionality is available as ctrl-home and ctrl-end. Further, zooming on the timeline does not work with the + and - keys unless I also hold command when I hit them. Weird.
I'd still love a legitimate solution if anyone can figure it out.

In the last few days, I've encountered a problem with scrolling with my up & down keys. The up & down keys seem to, now function as Home & End keys. MyPage Up & Page Down keys seem to do nothing. What is wrong?

Hit the '''F7''' key, you probably have Caret browsing turned on.

How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP

How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP

it cann't do that. How can i set the Fn + <- be Home key
and Fn + -> be End key like on my macbook keyboard
thank you for answer

Easy, no need to be harsh. I might not be a Level 9  Discussions user, but I’ve been an Apple Technician for more than a decade now. So believe me, I know what I’m talking about. Be it OS X Server or emptying the Trash. But even I come here from time to time to learn from others. Well, back to topic and being a little more specific:
The 'My Info' setting always belongs to the first iCloud account you add to an iOS device. In this account you create at least 1 contact, the one you will be using for 'My Info'. You then do the same on your other iOS device using NOT the same iCloud account, of course. You only need to enable contacts syncing in iCloud preferences for these primary accounts. From here on you can use differing 'My Info' on your 2 iOS devices without a problem.
But you may know that you can use more than one iCloud account at a time. Only the primary one will offer all iCloud options like Photostream. But what they all offer is contacts, calendars, etc. So if you intend (and I did) to share these 2 between your devices you can add them using a second iCloud account to both of your iOS devices. This makes it 3 accounts all in all. You could even go further and add another one just for 'Find my iPhone' if you like.
I would’ve used the built-in sharing of Calendar.app instead, but Contacts.app does not (yet) offer sharing contacts with others. That’s why I went with the third iCloud account as a secondary account to both iOS devices.
Apple of course recommends using just one Apple ID for everything to make it easier. But in some scenarios this just won’t cut it, which is even described in one of their support documents.
I hope that now you have an idea what I’ve done…
Good night
Björn
PS: It would be nice if people did not insist on being right. They too can sometimes learn something!

FCE & MBP Where's the home/end keys?

Hi
Got my new MBP and FCE installed. Going through COD's Training DVD, Tom mentions the "home" key. Come to think of it there isn't one on my MBP keyboard.
I tried CMD + L arrow but that doesn't work. The up/down arrow keys will moce the scrub bar but only to the next clip, so to get it back to the beginning or end of the video, I have to keep hitting the L/R Arrow keys.
Isn't there a keyboard command to equal the home/end keys?
Thanks
Allen

It appears there may not be one. Take a look at this correspondence:-

Keyboard arrows, Home, End keys

In a edit box, such as a search box, my keyboard arrows, Home, End keys do not work since I upgraded to FireFox 8

''my keyboard arrows, Home, End keys do not work...''
That problem is caused by "caret cursor" and the way that Mozilla works with it. Press "F7" reply "No" to turn if off. F7 toggles the setting and you may or may not see the warning but if you do see "No" that would mean you have it on and "No" would turn it off. For a more complete resolution see

See how you do with Adobe PDF files after fixing the above. You can have PDF files open by default without Firefox involved except to download them, but I expect you chose to view in your browser. You have a lot more control of reading PDF files outside of Firefox. The plug-in is what allows you to open them in a browser.

Buy a replacement keyboard. They're only $50-65 USD.

Hello Damyanology,
If your enter key is not working but you have to use it, you can bring up the on screen keyboard, and that will allow you to use enter.
Here is a link to open the on screen keyboard.
Go into device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should reinstall the driver to correct the problem.
Here is a link to uninstall in device manager.
Let me know if this helps.

Function keys not functioning.....

After I installed OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro the function keys at the top of my keyboard no longer function normally. Most of them do nothing when pressed except the volume keys, the volume down switches to spaces and the volume up key brings up the dashboard. The other keys have no action. The workaround that I have found so far is to actually press the fn key while executing the commands. I do not know if there is a setting in the system preferences or what but this is getting to be very annoying. Anyone else having this problem? If so does anyone know how to fix this?

I am having the same issues with some of my F keys. Just purchased my first MAC (long time Windower ;-), so I'm still finding my way around. I have Lion, and was thinking, are some of the F keys not functioning because Lion does that funtion a different way? I will post it here if I find your answer.
Good luck

Microsoft word 2013 function home and end keys not working together on HP Envy X2

Please help I've tried out Microsoft Office Word 2013 on two HP Envy X2 11.6" laptops/touch screen with keyboard and when I am in a Word document and am at the end or beginning of a document and select the FUNCTION KEY AND THE HOME OR END KEY, it does nothing. This is not the case in Internet Explorer or a web browser. There is a problem with the HP keyboard and Office 2013 or maybe any Word app. Help me as I use documents alot and rely on this function heavily. I can only page up or scroll up using the bar. It is not ideal.

Hi rosedoc12,
I have done some research and I have found a document that will show you how to disable or lock the fn key.

Home and end key not working on ubuntu 14

I am on Firefox on Ubuntu 14.
Home and END keys do not work properly as they do not take me to the top or the bottom of a page. Caret browsing (F7) is not activated. This problem persists with all add-ons disabled.

Shortcuts just for reference:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#firefox:linux:fx35]
I understand that there are two short cuts that do not work with caret browsing turned off. Please also see this menu:

If this is not the issue, please also contact the party that compiles Firefox specifically for Ubuntu, unless you are using the linux from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux here]?

Mini 1030NR keyboard: no home/end keys

I bought a Mini 1030NR and it is working just fine. Had a SamsungQ1 with touchscreen previously, just a little too small, but its keyboard (bought separately) had page up, page down, home, and end keys which you accessed with the Fn button. I see nothing like them on the keyboard of the HP Mini. I can do page up/ page down by customizing the touch pad settings. I see no way to program anything for the Home and End key functions. Can anyone help?

As my mini 210 like at least one review sample I read about has a slightly misbehaving touchpad.I use one of the exquisite Logitech MX Revolution optical mice it comes with 7 extra buttons that can each readily have keystrokes "programmed " in (assigned) including Fn plus the four arrow keys or the 11 function keys (I use F6 for Gadwin Prointscreen) using the most excellent Logitech Setpoint program. I am currently putting the finishing touches fo a tutorial entitled
"The Logitech MX Revolution Optical Wireless Mouse Supplemented by the freeware program AutoHotKey"
(Autohotkey as far as I can fathom out does not easily support the FN key
I'll return in a couple of days with my tutorial URL

Folders at Top in Finder and Home/End Keys

As a recently converted former Windows user, I'm trying to get comfortable with the the Mac way of doing things. A lot I like, but two things I'd like to change: the sorting of folders alphabetically in Finder (instead of appearing before the files) and the changed use of the Home and End keys in documents (in Windows they take you to the beginning and end of the line of text you're editing).
I've tried the modification to Finder in http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=208068 but can't get sufficient privileges to save the changes to the InfoPlist.strings file (and Mac support says that it can't be changed under any circumstances). I've completely struck out with the Home and End keys.
Is there any way to configure things the way I'd like?
Brett

Well, Mac support might have valid reasons for telling you that the procedure is not supported, and that things may go subtly wrong in other parts of the system if you make that change. However, this change seems to be pretty innocuous, and it's something that's been bugging me for a while now (so I'm glad I read this thread . I don't recommend changing system configurations lightly, so please be careful if you do decide to do this.
I was able to generally follow the instructions and make the change, and it worked fine for me. However, I edited that file from the command line, which is a little different than written. Here's what I did:
1. Open Terminal.
2. From the Terminal, type
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/
3. From the Terminal, type
sudo vi InfoPlist.strings
4. In the editor, change the line that says
"Folder" = "Folder";
to read
"Folder" = " Folder";
5. Save the file.
Step #3 is what gives you the correct permissions to make the change.

Home & End button not working

Since I upgraded to Firefox 4, the "Home" and "End" keys on my Logitech keyboard do not work. "Page Up" and Page Down" work correctly, but "Home" and "End" which should take you to the top or bottom of the page do absolutely nothing. The keys worked properly with the previous version of Firefox and they still work properly with other browsers like IE8. Is this a known problem with Firefox 4? Suggestions?
