Fix the Home and End keys in OS X

Posted by Alberto - 11/07/09 at 04:07:46 pm

There is one thing I dont like about Mac OS X: the behaviour of the Home, End, PagUp and PagDown keys. I you want the same behaviour than a Windows or Linux computer, open a text editor and write this:

{
“\UF729″ = “moveToBeginningOfLine:”;
“$\UF729″ = “moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:”;
“\UF72B” = “moveToEndOfLine:”;
“$\UF72B” = “moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:”;
“\UF72C” = “pageUp:”;
“\UF72D” = “pageDown:”;
}

Save the file as DefaultKeyBinding.dict into your ~/Library/KeyBindings directory and reboot your Mac.

Showing hidden files in Leopard

I’ve found a very useful widget. It adds a button to your dashboard to easily show or hide the hidden files in your system. Install it, press “Show”, and you will see your hidden files in Finder.
