Home and End keys equivalent on MacBook keyboards

The MacBooks have a shortened keyboard where some keys are left out. A few of these keys are “Home” and “End”, which I needed to test some functionality.

Apple has cleverly hidden these keys behind shortcuts. Using the Fn key, we can access those.

For “Home”, we need to press Fn and arrow left key. And for “End”, Fn with the right arrow key.

As for a bonus, the Fn with arrow up and down keys map to “Page Up” and “Page Down”.
