Remap Home and End key behaviour on a Mac

MX Keys

The following terminal script can be used to map Home and End keys on macOS so they work in the same way as they do in Windows and Linux: Home - beginning of the line, End - end of the line, Shift + Home - select text between cursor and beginning of the line, etc.

mkdir -p $HOME/Library/KeyBindings

echo '{

/* Remap Home / End keys to be correct */

"\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; /* Home */

"\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; /* End */

"$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Home */

"$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + End */

"^\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfDocument:"; /* Ctrl + Home */

"^\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfDocument:"; /* Ctrl + End */

"$^\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfDocumentAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Ctrl + Home */

"$^\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Ctrl + End */
