Sublime Text 2 fix for OSX home/end keys

Default (OSX).sublime-keymap -- User

  { "keys": ["home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bol"} },
  { "keys": ["end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eol"} }

yes, I know, "Command-Left/Right" moves the cursor the way I want. But what is the use of the home/end keys? They move the view but not the cursor? That's pretty useless if you ask me, so I made them more functional and I don't have to do vulcan neck pinches to get it. (yes, there's always CTRL+a/e bash conventions, but sometimes the old wiring for HOME/END kicks in and it is very annoying to try to refind what I was editing-- VERY ANNOYING!). There's another solution that is more invasive, but this works fine for me.

Legend. This will save me so much time in the long run!

Any thoughts on how to get it to work with Shift for highlighting an entire line?

Scrap that... figured it out and added the following lines;

{ "keys": ["shift+end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eol", "extend": true} },
{ "keys": ["shift+home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bol", "extend": true } }

My hero! Thank you for this!

There's a way to get this behaviour in all OS X apps.

Huge thanks. The home and end keys are back to being useful again.

+1 Thank you so much.

Gracias +1

+1 from me here too. HATE how mac thinks home/end should work.

this was the best gist ever!

+1 Awesome, thank you! Long time Linux user just bought my first Mac 2 days ago and this was driving me insane!

Thank you so much!

Hey man, that's very, very helpful! Thank you for sharing it!

very nice, also looseroots for the selection thingy

I added also support for the command key: https://gist.github.com/mnme/5235936

If you'd like to add support for using Cmd+ to go to the beginning/end of the file, it's pretty easy! Just add these lines:

{ "keys": ["super+home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bof"} },
{ "keys": ["super+end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eof"} },
{ "keys": ["super+shift+home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bof", "extend": true} },
{ "keys": ["super+shift+end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eof", "extend": true} }

Thank you, pressed it several times to celebrate.

Amazing - always frustrated me how "Home/End" keys didn't work properly in OS X.

Very nice! The life is a joy again.

Thanks for this! Just an FYI - this works totally fine in Sublime Text 3 on OSX!

+1 you made my day

Kind of late, but thank you for this! It still works in Sublime Text 3 too!

nice,huge thanks.

Thanks, it's been driving me crazy.

And just like that, I was 50% more productive. Thanks!

Thanks!!

i believe in GOD now !

much thanks.

many many thanks, this a great frustration relief.

Wow, great! This is the #1 hit on Google for "sublime text home end", for good reason. These tips have unfscked my Home and End keys! Much appreciation.

Here's all of the suggested edits on this page so far, all edited together, for your convenience:

[
 { "keys": ["home"],             "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bol"                 } },
 { "keys": ["end"],              "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eol"                 } },
 { "keys": ["shift+home"],       "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bol", "extend": true } }, 
 { "keys": ["shift+end"],        "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eol", "extend": true } },
 { "keys": ["super+home"],       "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bof"                 } },
 { "keys": ["super+end"],        "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eof"                 } },
 { "keys": ["super+shift+home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bof", "extend": true } },
 { "keys": ["super+shift+end"],  "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eof", "extend": true } }
]

Whitespace added for readability. Simply cut and paste into your keymap file (Sublime Text 2 / Preferences / Key Bindings - User). Takes effect immediately, as soon as that file is saved!
