Command-left arrow Ctrl-A And you can create a DefaultKeyBinding.dict in the directory ~/Library/Keybindings with a mapping of the Home to the Cocoa cursor command "moveToBeginningOfLine:". See http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html For example, if you have a DefaultKeyBinding.dict file containing { /* home Shift+home*/ "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* end Shift+end*/ "\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; } Home will move the cursor to the start of a line End will move the cursor to the end of a line Combined with a shift key, these will select from the current cursor position to the start/end of line.
