Its funny how you just get used to some things. I’ve been using either Windows or Linux as my primary desktops for quite a while now. Both operating systems treat the home and end keys pretty much the same way. The first time I was in a terminal on my mac though and clicked home to type sudo before a command I got a good smack in the face.
You see, on a mac the home key and end key are roughly equivalent to page up and page down. Its been driving me and one of my co-workers absolutely bonkers since we started working more with macs. Now I recognize that most people probably never use the home or end key, but I realized that I probably use it 50+ times a day during usual use. I have been putting up with it for a while now but I finally had some down time and decided to try and figure out a way to “fix” it.
DoubleCommand to the rescue, technically I suppose I could have edited the keybinding file by hand but, double command did the heavy (all right not that heavy) lifting for me. Now when I click home I don’t want to bang my head up against the wall anymore…
YAY
