OK, thanks everybody for that info. Home key bringing cursor to the top of the document is actually an old Unix construct from the terminal world of 70s, so I had the suspicion that this is not incidental. Speaking of Mac OS shortcuts, as a half-year Windows switcher I really miss the PgUp/PgDn key that scrolls the view and brings the cursor up or down correspondingly. Does anybody knows what's the shortcut for that on Mac? I just started Xcode, and tried fn-↑ (this scrolls the view, but keeps the cursor where it was, so when you start typing, the view is scrolled back), and cmd-↑ (this scrolls to the top of the document, AND brings the cursor there). Any advice on that? Sergey
it's cmd–← (command plus left arrow) — i forgot to include that information in my previous mail and didn't want to spam the list, so i sent the follow-up to sergey only ... but now i can't resist letting everyone know ;)
i'd try out what ctrl-home and shift-home do on my mac, but i don't have a keyboard with a home key here at the moment ... not that i'd want one; those overly wide keyboards are stupid, awkward, unergonomic, pointless abominations ... but that rant would be off topic here so i'm leaving it out ;) anyway, i don't think any meta key would usually modify the behaviour of 'home' on the mac, outside of weird apps.
oh, btw., ctrl-home is top-of-document under windows; on the mac that's cmd–↑.
