Keyboard Shortcut for "End of Line" & "Beg. of Line"?

Hi All,


On the keyboard with the numeric keypad, are there keyboard shortcuts for moving the cursor to the beginning of the line, and to the end of the line?


I would also be curious to know if there is the equivalent, just including highlighting the entire line; both beginning of line and end of line.



In Windoze the equivalents are "Home", "End", "Shift-Home" and "Shift-End"




Many thanks!



Richard

Beginning of line: use Command-Left Arrow


End of line: use Command-Right Arrow


To highlight the entire line without using the mouse to do it: move the cursor to the beginning of the line; hold down Shift; press Command-Right Arrow

Home = Command-Up Arrow


End = Command-Down Arrow

Move insertion mark to beginning of paragraph it's in, or to beginning of previous paragraph: Option-Up Arrow


Move insertion mark to end of paragraph it's in, or to end of next paragraph - Option-Up Arrow


You can use Shift in conjunction with those to select the text between those points.


And, with text selected, you can hold down the Shift key and use the Left and Right arrow keys to adjust the end-point of the selected area one character at a time. If you add Option to Shift, you can use the Left and Right arrow keys to adjust the end-point one word at a time.
