Powebook: no 'home' or 'end' keys..

hi,
I'm working with a very long MS Word document, but because on the powerbook keyboard there are no "home" or "end" keys, I can't find how to quickly navigate to beginning or end of the document (as described here,
http://www.internet4classrooms.com/msword_keyboard.htm)..
is there a way to do this on a powerbook pro?
thank you...

Before anyone will be able to answer your question, you must tell us the correct nomenclature for the computer you are working with. There is no such thing as a PowerBook Pro.

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.

Anyone know how to use a 'home' and 'end' key on the Macbook pro keyboard?

I had a pc before, and the keyboard had home and end keys on the keyboard for quickly moving cursor to end or beginning of word or sentence. I can't figure out if there is something like that on the Macbook pro. It would be really helpful. So does anyone know if there is those keys and if so what do i use?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

see if any of this works for you
On a smaller keyboard, such as the wireless, or on portables, you can use fn- left arrow for home and fn- right arrow for end.
On a Mac, 'home and 'end' take you to the beginning and the end of document, respectively. Getting to the beginning or end of a line is done with cmd- leftarrow and cmd- rightarrow. Emacs shortcuts, such a ctrl-a and ctrl- e also work in most places, where the app is done right.

My up and down arrows as well as page up and page down no longer work properly only when using firefox. Page up and down function more like the "home" and "end" keys as do the arrow keys.

Honestly I'm not sure if these began just after I updated FF to the current release, but it's been happening for at least 2 weeks. The arrow keys and page up and page down keys all work as if I'm pressing the 'home' and 'end' keys on my keyboard. This is only when using FF. Please contact me if you need more clarification. Thanks in advance!

Sounds that you have switched on caret browsing.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

No Home or End keys on MacBook keyboard?

I am now an avid student of Tom Wolsky's book 'Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop' and see that on page 35 under 'Keyboard Shortcuts' that the Home and End key are the way to go to beginning of clip ore ending of clip. Since there is no Home or End key on a MacBook Pro, is there some substitute key or key sequence that will accomplish the same result?

Hi -
Home = Function Key (Fn) + Left Arrow
End = Function Key (Fn) + Right Arrow

I am trying to navigate mail and can't find a slider bar to scroll on a MacBook Air. Also I can't find a Home or End key.

I am trying to navigate mail and can't find a slider bar to scroll on a MacBook Air. Also I can't find a Home or End key.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The scroll bar only appears when you are scrolling with your trackpad. If you want to make it show always, open System Preferences > General, and mark "Always" next to "Show scroll bars".
Then, Mac keyboards have not got a Home or End key

Custom functionality for home and end keys?

I don't know anything about automate, but I was wondering if it's possible to do this:
I'm a former PC user and on PCs you could use the 'home' and 'end' keys to go to the beginning and end of one line (subsequently, you could hold shift + home/end to highlight from your current cursor position to the beginning or end of a line). This functionality is extremely helpful for text editing and programming. Luckily the versions of Word and Dreamweaver I have on mac do use this, but TextEdit, Flash, and others do not. Is there anyway to program this kind of functionality? And if so how? And why is basic functionality like this different program to program on macs? PC's were at least consistent. Thanks!

The Command and Option shortcuts will take some getting used to, but that will work. Thanks! an external text editor would be okay for some things, but not Flash ActionScripting within a flash file.
I just wish some of the more basic functions between mac and pc were the same. I think both platforms would have an easier time getting users to switch if they were a little more consistent and took some of the good features of each into consideration.

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:
Options > Advanced > disable "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages" option present in "General" tab.
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]?

Mac Mini w/ Apple USB keyboard - question about home and end keys

I purchased a USB white Apple keyboard to go with my Mac mini.
My question concerns the home and end keys. When I put the cusor focus in a text field or text area, I would expect that hitting the home key would take me to the beginning of the line and hitting the end key would take me to the end of the line.
That's not the case?
If a vertical scrollbar is used in the window, then the home key takes me to the top of the window and the end key takes me to the bottom of the window.
Please forgive me, I've been on a PC for the last 10+ years, so I thought I should ask.
What key or key combo moves you to the start and end of a text in a text field or text area?
Thanks,

Hi Todd,
Use the arrow keys with the command key (⌘):
command + left arrow -> beginning of the line
command + right arrow -> end of the line
command + arrow up -> beginning of the text
command + arrow down -> end of the text
Explore also the option key (⌥) possibilities, with the arrow keys:
very handy too.
Yes, the Home, End, Pageup and Pagedown keys are for controlling the whole document, not the text itself.

OSX FF 4 beta - change Home and End key behavior

On OSX, Home and End keys go to the top and bottom of the page, respectively. We need a simple way to change this to the more typical beginning/end of '''line''' behavior. This is an extremely frustrating issue in an otherwise perfect browser.

Looks like I spoke to soon. The Keyfixer extension has been updated to work with FF 4, and is in the Add-on gallery.

Just switched to MAC from Windows...missing my home and end keys. Is there a MAC equivalent?

I am sure there are combination keystrokes to equate to windows, but haven't found them all yet. What is a good resource for finding this information?

If you get a wireless PC keyboard with Home and End keys, most programs that use that often will support it.
For instance Firefox and the free LibreOffice supports those features.
It's just a lot of Apple programs don't.

"Home" and "End" keys in FCP on MacBook Pro (2008/09)

I just started using my new MacBook Pro 17. While I was in FCP and tried to move the playhead to the "Home" position, I realized that my keyboard doesn't have a "Home" or an "End" key. What keys/functions do I need to use in this case? When I tried to look up the solution online, I found a forum in which someone suggested "Command/Arrow Key" (up for "Home" and "down for "End") but that didn't work.
Thank you!

On my macbook pro hitting function (the "fn" key) and the left arrow works for home, and function and right works for end. My laptop is a few years old, but I'd assume it's still the case.

Anyone know how to go to the last active row in Numbers for iOS ? There is no Home or End key on iPad.

Where are the home and end keys

in iphoto to move from the top of your events to the bottom or vice versa the shortcut says to either use the" home key"or the "end key" my question is where are they?

When I have "All Events" displayed in iPhoto 9.2.1 (the latest version), neither of the preceding two suggestions takes me instantly to the beginning or the end of the displayed event grid. What does the trick for me is Fn + left arrow and Fn + right arrow. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, in case that makes any difference.

Windows equivalent "Home" and "End" keys?

Okay, if there was one keyboard shortcut I used in Windows all the time, it was Shift-Home or Shift-End to highlight an entire line quickly. Control-A and Control-B do something like that, but I can't use Shift at the same time to highlight. Is there anyway to change the function of "Home" and "End" so they don't go to the end of a paragraph, but rather to the end of the line? Is there another keyboard shortcut I can use to do this? Thanks!

Hi, JAButler.
How keyboard shortcuts, such as those you cite, work are generally defined at the application level. Command-A, i.e. ⌘-A (not Control-A) is universally defined as "Select All."
I recommend consulting the Help for a given application to determine what keyboard shortcuts it defines.
For example, in my favorite text editor, Tex-Edit Plus, it defines the following keyboard shortcuts akin to what you describe:• Shift-arrow extends a selection.
• Shift-option-left/right arrow extends the selection one word at a time.
• Shift-command-left/right arrow extends the selection to the beginning/end of the line.However, in FileMaker Pro, another application I use often, one must useShift-Option-Command-left/right arrowto extend the selection to the beginning or end of the line vs "Shift-command-left/right arrow" in Tex-Edit.
General Information on Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts
• An official list of Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts is found in "Mac OS X: Keyboard Shortcuts."
• An important list of keyboard shortcuts for all Mac owners is: "Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart."
• If you have an Intel-based Mac, see also "Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs.".
• A popular list of Mac keyboard shortcuts is Dave's Picks Mac Keys.
• Don't forget that Mac OS X's Help Viewer lists most of the keyboard shortcuts available. Just search for keyboard shortcuts in Help Viewer.
Good luck!
