I am feeling quite uncomfortable on the iMac's small key board with the right delete, home and end buttons missing. (My maximum activity on the computer needs typing)

fn+left arrow and fn+rightarrow don't seem to do the job of home and end.

Is there a way to get some other key on the keyboard to take up these 3 functions?

Fn-Up/Down are Page Up/Page Down.

Fn-Left/Right and Cmd-Up/Down are start and end of document.

Cmd-Left/Right are beginning/end of line.

Use Butler to define a Keystrokes element, type e.g. Fn+Arrow once in the Keys tab, and use whatever keyboard shortcut you want to use instead Hot Key.

Use Ukele to define your own keyboard layout.

Use a full-size keyboard :-)

  • Thanks for the help. I wonder if I am knowledgeable enough to get these softwares you recommended to run. I didn't get a full keyboard simply because it doesn't come wireless. I don't know why they couldn't make it wireless. – Student Feb 07 '11 at 07:31
  • @Anirbit Butler is relatively easy to use. [Here](http://superuser.com/questions/181788/remapping-spacebar-in-finder-from-windowed-quick-look-to-fullscreen-slideshow/225700#225700) is a somewhat detailed description how to do this -- replace "space" with "fn/cmd-up/down/left/right". – Daniel Beck Feb 07 '11 at 07:56
