Re: Keyboard shortcuts for home/end keys on iMac keyboards without them?

[Mon...@officeformac.com]

Any experienced users out there with a home/end shortcut?

I also miss page up/page down. I've tried the push/pull fingers over the pad, but it isn't very efficient.

I'd really appreciate some help.

Well, you really don't offer much to go on - "iMac" refers to a category of
Macintosh desktop systems which have been produced for several years &
encompasses a number of different models. Not only have the keyboard layouts
varied somewhat from one series to another but there are several different
styles of keyboard to choose from - not to mention the numerous 3rd party
keyboards available for use with virtually any Mac. However, none of the
Apple desktop keyboards have a "pad".

Touchpads are normally associated with laptop models such as Macbooks &
Macbook Pros. Unless you specify exactly which *keyboard* you're referring
to it's a bit difficult to suggest how it be used, but with touchpads the
2-finger technique is used for scrolling & has nothing to do with cursor
movement. As a general guess, the keyboards with touchpads typically include
a key labeled "fn" in the lower left corner and holding that key while
pressing Left/Right Arrow executes Home/End respectively. Similarly, using
the fn key with Up/Down Arrow executes Page Up/Down.

If that doesn't answer your question you may find clarification in the
documentation that came with the unit or in Mac Help. If not, the best
source of info would be the mfr's site - If an Apple keyboard, Apple tech
support or the Apple Discussions Forum pertaining to your model. Start here:
