Mac keyboard mapings

[Greg Edwards]

Aaron,

I'm going crazy. Now CTRL+FN+HOME/END works.
I'm 100% sure it didn't before.
Will keep hammering it and report anything useful.
I'm on NEdit 5.5, built from source on this Mac.
Snapshot attached.
Thanks for the persevaracne with this dumb question.

Greg.
