The "home" and "end" key does not work on my apple key board. It does not get me to the start or the end of a line

How to map the "HOME" and "END" key to do the correct function of getting to start of the line and end of the line. Presently the keys are mapped to "start of the page" and "end of the page".

The link shared helps with shortcut. I am more used to home and end key to go to the start and end of a line and not able to achieve that task. How to remap those keys to function as a start and end function. The external apple keyboard I have is Model A1843.

One link I found is this one, https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-home-end-button-for-external-keyboard-mac/ did anyone try it out?

Magic key board made by apple. I have a macOS Catalina running on MacBook Pro 16 inc, 2019. The keyboard is the one you can find in the amazon link. https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Keyboard-Numeric-Wireless-Rechargable/dp/B071ZZTNBM/ref=asc_df_B071ZZTNBM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309833041189&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6581096000072603340&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031923&hvtargid=pla-536646513769&psc=1


The problem seem quite common when I googled it but solution is uncommon.
