Mac keyboard mapings

[Greg Edwards]

Thanks Aaron.

Nothing as simple as that I'm afraid, the simple one-modifier combos of
{ shift | fn | ctrl | alt/option | apple/command }  { left/home |
page/dn | page/up | end/right } just do various forward/backward
paragraph moves, or extend_paragrpah_selection, and behave pretty
wildly on code files (Perl in this case).

But I sussed it after exhasuting all 5! x 4! combos or whatver ...
FN+CTRL+ALT/OPTION+ {HOME | END} is the go. Fits the fingers quite
nicely in the end. The abbreviated Mac keyboard is a minor pain
sometimes. Couldn't suss this from the zillion Mac Help keyboard pages
but it may be in there somewhere.

GE.
