How does one send the home/end keys produced by pressing and holding Cmd + left/right arrows?

Questions & Suggestions

In Chrome, sending the Home/End keys will scroll to the start/end of the web page. I'm used to being able to use F11/F12 to navigate to the start/end of lines (via KM macros), but Chrome drives me nuts by not doing this (and scrolling away from what I'm editing!). Today I assigned Ctrl+A & Ctrl+E to F11/F12 when in Chrome, but then was reminded that's start/end of paragraph rather than line.

I can still press/hold Cmd+left/right for home/end but I've never used that shortcut and would really prefer to be able to send whatever that "key" is to F11/F12. Any ideas?

[FYI I also have separate macros for Shift+F11/F12, Ctl+F11/F12, and Shift+Ctl+F11/F12...and different sets of these for cocoa vs non-cocoa apps, and mods for Citrix! :stuck_out_tongue:]

Fn←/→ are the standard keybindings for home/end on compact keyboards. I don't use Chrome, though, so I don't know if it handles inputs differently; probably still worth a try in any case.

Can you not just write macros, triggered by F11 and F12, that send the ⌘← and ⌘→ keystrokes?

Great Scott! Since I'm so used to Cmd + arrows serving to move the cursor one word at a time (I remapped them), I forgot that Cmd + arrows usually means Home/End (in non-Cocoa apps)! Thank you for the reminder :crazy_face:
