Default keybindings fix for Mac OS X. Adds multiple sign shortkey: control - shift - 8 = ×; Adds deographic space shortkey. I've managed to recreate a remarkably emacs-like editing environment with my DefaultKeyBinding.dict, complete with ^X key combos, etc. If you're not familiar with how to use this file please check out Apple's page on Text System Defaults and Key Bindings, basically you just need to save it in /Library/KeyBindings/.
I’ve been using Mac OS X daily since 2001 when I purchased my Titanium PowerBook and I still can’t get used the home and end key behavior.
If, like me, you want Home to send you to the start of the line and not to the top of the document then create a file called DefaultKeyBinding.dict in your ~/Library/KeyBindings folder (might need to create that folder too) with the following contents:
This remapping does the following in most Mac apps including Chrome (some apps do their own key handling):
- Home and End will go to start and end of line
- ShiftHome and ShiftEnd will select to start and end of line
- CtrlHome and CtrlEnd will go to start and end of document
- ShiftCtrlHome and ShiftCtrlEnd will select to start and end of document
Note that you will need to reboot after creating this file for it to take effect.
