Hi, Yes and no. The instructions I gave work for the keyboard without the NumPad or a laptop keyboard where the FN key is in the lower left. If you have the extended keyboard with your Mac, the FN key is where the “Insert” key would have been on a Windows keyboard, top left of the six-pack. Two things to consider, depending on how you have the behaviour of the Function keys set, you may or may not need the FN key to perform these commands. Also, if you have the keyboard commander turned on, you can customize your own key combination to accomplish this.

I have one on my Mac Mini. it’s not bluetooth. anyway, I’m not even sure I can get all those keys at the same time. am I correct that fn is what you would call “home” on a windows pc? the top middle one in that little 6 key group?
