I've kinda got used to Fn-Left and Fn-Right for home and end now. It has taken a very long time though.

Mac equivalents to Windows Home and End are Cmd-ArrowUp and Cmd-ArrowDown. Fn-Left and Fn-Right are Mac-flavored Home/End, which don't move the text cursor, but scroll the text container, keeping cursor in its original place (although there's no distinction when viewing documents, e.g. in a web browser).

  • Crazy, I hadn't appreciated that.

    So:

      Fn-Left = scroll to top
      Fn-Right = scroll to bottom
      Fn-Up = scroll page up
      Fn-Down = scroll page down
    
      ⌘-Up = cursor to top
      ⌘-Down = cursor to bottom
      ⌘-Left = cursor to start of line
      ⌘-Right = cursor to end of line

    • And also option-left/right moves the cursor by word, and option-up/down moves (I think I almost never use it) by paragraph.
