In other applications, no amount of fn pushing moves you quickly through a document (though fn-down arrow and fn-up arrow will allow you to scroll through windows one page/window at a time). Hey guys,How do use the home, delete, pg up, and end keys on the smaller laptop keyboard I'm using a program that needs these keys and does not allow. Is there a combination of keys that will give me.
In some cases you’ll find that fn-right arrow moves you to the end of a document in some applications. Im a long time PC user and never realized how dependant I was on the Home/end keys when I type. Regrettably, this key combination doesn’t work in every application because Home and End keys-much to the frustration of Windows switchers-are not implemented consistently across applications. So, for Microsoft Word, these are your Home and End keyboard shortcuts. Similarly, press fn-Command-left arrow, and you’re transported to the top of the document. Instead, they double-up the function of some keys. You should be taken to the end of the document. While Apple’s full-size keyboards have dedicated Home, End, Page Up, & Page Down keys, their compact keyboards (such as those found on laptops) do not. Is there a keyboard shortcut in Parallels/Win 7 I tried Cmnd-RightArrow for end but it doesn't work. When using my MBP with Parallels(Win 7) I feel lost without those keys. In terms of functionality, the alt key in Windows is often more comparable with. I use Home and End fairly frequently on a PC keyboard.
However, the option key on a Mac keyboard is used in a different way than the alt key on a Windows PC. Specifically, try opening one of these documents, pressing fn-Command-right arrow, and see what happens. The PC-keyboard equivalent of Alt on a Mac is called the Option key, and you’ll find the Option Key on your Mac if you go two keys to the left of the spacebar. Take a gander at the fn key next to the Control key on your MacBook’s keyboard. And “Customize Keyboard” has no “go to end of document” command to select. The Command-End keyboard shortcut doesn’t work, presumably because the MacBook keyboard has no dedicated “End” key. This is the exact same function as hitting the Home button on a Windows PC. The ‘fn’ key on the Mac keyboard is the function button, hitting that with the left arrow will immediately jump to the very top of a page in the active application of Mac OS. Unlike with my older Mac (Cube with OS 9.2.2) using Word 2001, I am unable to move the cursor to the end of a Word 2004 document on my MacBook. The Home button on a Mac keyboard: Fn + Left Arrow. Getting to the end of one quickly is a big help. I often work with documents up to 200 pages long. Reader John Fieser longs for keys missing from his MacBook.
