It would have been a lot simpler if Apple had just put them on the keyboard in the first place, including a numeric keypad. Are there shortcuts in Mac to move the cursor word-left, word-right?Īfter reading this article and all the comments (with variations of keystrokes to achieve the same capabilities), I have to disagree with the author referring to these keys as “extraneous keys”. I have 2-finger tap to set to right click, but it brings up a popup menu I’ve never seen in the Windows version of Chrome.Ĥ. In Chrome I’m unable to get the popup menu that wth the option to open a link in a new tab. “Ins” and “Del” are two other really useful keys, too.ģ. Does anyone know the equivalent of the “Back” key on Windows PC?Ģ. If you found this helpful, you’d likely appreciate knowing the PC DEL key also has a Mac keystroke equivalent, and taking the time to learn a handful of other keyboard shortcuts to navigate text on the Mac can be a worthwhile endeavor as well.ġ.
This is basically the same thing as pressing the “End” key on a Windows PC, except it’s a keyboard shortcut.įor the Home and End equivalence in Mac OS X, you can use these keyboard shortcuts or a similar set of Command key tricks which can achieve the same effect of jumping to the start and end of documents, it doesn’t matter which you use, both will get the job done and work the same, so go with whatever works better for your workflow, or whichever you memorize. Hitting the function key with the right arrow will immediately scroll to the very bottom of an open document or page, regardless of how long it is.
The “End” button on a Mac Keyboard: Fn + Right Arrow 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.
The “Home” button on a Mac keyboard: Fn + Left Arrow Instead of pressing a single key though, on the Mac keyboard you press keyboard shortcut to achieve the same desired effect. But even without the dedicated buttons on a Mac keyboard, this does not mean you can’t perform the exact same function in Mac OS as what the Home and End buttons offer in Windows and Linux.
