Updated for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
In order to get page up and page down to work properly under Mac OSX Terminal, as well as the home and end of line (EoL), you need to go to Preferences and then Keyboard and configure the right escape key sequences. Sketchup pro 2016 crack mac sierra.
(Note for laptop users: you don't have the page up/down and home/EoL keys, but you can simulate them by holding the 'fn' key and pressing on an arrow key. So these configurations also apply to you.)
In the Terminal Preferences, go to the Keyboard pane and watch the the keys named 'page up', 'page down', 'home' and 'end'. You will see they already exist but are configured to scroll the buffer rather than sending commands to the server you're connected to.
In order to change this, double click on each of the relevant lines and select Action: 'Send string to shell:'
Question: Q: ctrl-alt-end on mac keyboard Our system at work uses WIndows XP and I can now use Remote Office to get on the system from home. Previously, I had to run Parallels Desktop for windows. Finding Home and End on a Mac Keyboard. January 10, 2011 at 2:00 am Chad Upton 41 comments. By Chad Upton Editor. I use both Mac and Windows computers and I appreciate some attributes of each. For example, I really like the home and end keys on Windows keyboards. These guys make it a breeze to select a single line of text or jump to the end.
You then need to enter the correct string to send to the shell. This is a multiple key sequence starting with the escape character (which is represented with it's octal code 033). Here are strings you can use for each key:
- Keyboard shortcuts are often the most efficient way to accomplish a task in any operating system, but some traditionally useful keyboard functions have been hidden behind modifier keys as keyboards have shrunk to fit modern devices. Here are a few shortcuts for OS X that bring back the functionality of the handy Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys, which are no longer found on most Apple.
- Your Mac keyboard may lack Home and End keys, but you can jump to the beginning and end of documents, pages and apps with one of two keyboard shortcuts. Matt Elliott June 18, 2015 9:16 a.m.
As of OSX 10.6.8, the correct fix is:
Key | Recommended Escape Sequence | Other possible sequences you can try if the recommended doesn't work for you | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Home | 033OH | 033[1~ | 033[H | 001 |
End | 033OF | 033[4~ | 033[F | 005 |
Page Up | 033[5~ | |||
Page Down | 033[6~ |
You can either type these strings on your keyboard (start by presseing Esc) or you can just copy paste the strings from above.
It is worth noting that some of these are already bound to Shift-Page Up, Shift-Page Down, Shift-Home and Shift-End (which are obtained with Shift-Fn-Up/Down/Left/Right on a laptop keyboard). So if you can change your habits slightly you don't actually need to reconfigure anything.

Also note that some people (including Apple) recommend to use 033[H for Home but this doesn't actually work in vi or vim. This is why I recommend using 033OH which has worked in any shell or editor for me so far (Mac terminal, Debian terminal, vim, etc.)
If the recommended sequences don't work for you: please try the alternative suggested here. Also please let us know with which shell or editor you are trying to make them work and which escape sequences work best for you. This way we can order them in order of popularity and possibly give specific advice for specific environments to future visitors of this page. Thank you for your feedback.

Keyboard On Mac Not Working
While Appleās full-size keyboards have dedicated Home, End, Page Up, & Page Down keys, their compact keyboards (such as those found on laptops) do not. Instead, they double-up the function of some keys. Apple does not label the second function of all the keys, so not everyone realizes their full potential!
When you hold the function (fn) key and press certain keys on Apple keyboards, it makes those keys act differently. It activates their alternate function. Here are the common ones you should know:
- Page Up is fn-Up Arrow
- Page Down is fn-Down Arrow
- Home is fn-Left Arrow
- End is fn-Right Arrow
- Enter (in the number pad of a full keyboard) is fn-Return
- Delete Right (also called Forward Delete) is fn-Delete
