I *really* wish there was a way to change the function of "Home" and "End" keys 
on a Mac keyboard to match the behavior in Windows.  When I press "Home", I 
want the cursor to jump to the beginning of the current line.  When I press 
"End", I want jump to the end.

I know this isn't standard keystroke behavior for a Mac.  "Home" jumps to top 
of text field or document; "End" jumps to bottom of text field or document.  On 
a Mac, to jump to the beginning of a line requires "Command + Left Arrow".  
This is unproductive, and takes too long to type when editing large amounts of 
code.  It's an exercise of frustration to touch typists that just want to get 
things done.  Not to mention that in Leopard, one gets used to typing "Ctrl + 
[any] Arrow" to jump from one space to another.

In XCode, you can override the actions of keys, "Home" and "End" included.  
This makes me a happy camper.  I wish there was a similar way to override the 
meaning of "Home" and "End" in the RB IDE.

Any keystroke utilities, suggestions, or tricks that others use would be most 
welcome, and a boon to my productivity.
