QUESTION (41)

Home/End Keys; How do I change the default bindings ??

ANSWER

Some users prefer the HOME and END keys to map to the beginning and end of the line, rather than beginning/end of the buffer, respectively. Within the <user>.emf the following global bindings may be applied to re-assign the key mappings:

global-bind-key "beginning-of-buffer" "C-home" 
global-bind-key "end-of-buffer"       "C-end" 
global-bind-key "end-of-line"         "end" 
global-bind-key "beginning-of-line"   "home"
