[oXygen-user] key remapping

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

Do you mean a home key for going to the beginning of the line and an end 
key for going to the end of the line ? Where are they located on the Mac 
keyboard ? What is their sign or word so that I can identify them ?

Please give some examples of native Mac OS applications for which you 
use a key to go to the beginning of the current line and this action is 
mapped to that key by default, when the application is started the first 
time.


Thank you,
Sorin
