You can also change what your Mac does by holding down the following keys or key combinations during startup. Print these boot option keys, because they’re particularly helpful to have.

Unless you’ve specifically bought the full size Mac keyboard, you’re missing dedicated page up and page down keys.

But, you’re not missing out on the functionality; here are the shortcuts:

  • Page Up: fn key + up arrow key
  • Page Down: fn key + down arrow key

If you do want the dedicated keys, you can buy Apple’s full size keyboard or most windows keyboards will work with Macs too.

Well, if you’re like me, you used to be pro-Windows. Then you found and fell in love with Linux. Then you realized how complicated it was to emulate your Windows software in a Linux environment, or get the Broadcom wireless card on your Dell laptop to work.

Then you discovered the Mac. Sleek. Sexy. Expensive… and the best of both worlds. A Unix-based platform, native Adobe apps, [paid] support, and a real terminal!

But wait, trouble in paradise — our favorite Windows/Linux key commands (Home, End, Page Up, Page Down) aren’t working as inspected. In fact they’re different throughout the OS.

Mac Os Page Down

Well, kids, after researching, I’ve finally got a working solution for Terminal.app:

  1. Open Terminal.app
  2. Open the Preferences window (CMD+,)
  3. Click the Settings tab
  4. Select your current Settings theme, and click on the Keyboard tab
  5. Edit (or Add) the entry for Home
    • Set Action: to send string to shell:
    • Set the string to 001 (or press Ctrl+a)
  6. Edit (or Add) the entry for End
    • Set Action: to send string to shell:
    • Set the string to 005 (or press Ctrl+e)
  7. Edit (or Add) the entry for Page Up
    • Set Action: to send string to shell:
    • Set the string to 033[5~ (copy and paste this in)
  8. Edit (or Add) the entry for Page Down
    • Set Action: to send string to shell:
    • Set the string to 033[6~ (copy and paste this in)
  9. Close the settings window.

There you go. Terminal should be ready to use the Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys as expected by Windows/Linux users.

SSH into your favorite Linux server, open nano, vi, or emacs and enjoy.

These articles made this article possible:

  • The articles Tip of the Day: Fixing Home and End Keys in Leopard’s Terminal.app and Tip of the Day: Fixing Page Up and Page Down Keys in Leopard’s Terminal.app by Ben and Ron – thanks guys!
  • KeyFixer – Fix Your OS X Home and End Keys — I’ve had little luck with this app, but it does the same key fixes for many native OS X apps.
  1. Close, but no cigar on the Home and End keys, at least for vim. Try these instead:

    Home: 33[7~
    End: 33[4~

    Enjoy!

  2. Damn, the comment processor was not written with proper techs in mind! Make those as they are in the article:

    Home:
    backslash zero three three left-square-bracket seven tilde

    End:
    backslash zero three three left-square-bracket four tilde

  3. @breakpoint thanks, mine works great for basic terminal work as well as nano. Haven’t tried vim though. Photo grid online.

    Thanks for the additional info, not sure why WP killed your slash. Probably something to do with it’s slash escaping through GET/POST requests.

  4. saved me allot of frustration on my MBP!

    except i set ctrl+up to page up etc etc

    you rock!

  5. Woo!! Breakpoint in the house!!!!! Almost every site out there has the quick fix with ctrl+a and ctrl+e but does NOT work in vi. I copy/pasted your home and end codes and they worked great in vi both in normal mode and insert mode. Rock! Thank you!

  6. oops just noticed that unfortunately the vi fix doesn’t work with home/end in Terminal. it just prints out a “~” doh!

  7. Yeah, these mappings are good for use in VI and some other command line apps, but indeed, it doesn’t actually work (home/end) in the terminal itself. I seriously can’t stand how this is even a problem. Ugh, Apple, you do so well in general, but this is actually a point of real frustration for me!

  8. Great tip, this one actually works in VI!!!

  9. this is driving me mad…

  10. I hate Macs. The most counter intutitve devices ever made.

  11. @Ted, easily a million people out there to discount that statement without clarification/details ;p

  12. Awesome! thanks! Best mac anti virus. this saved me a lot of time and frustration.

  13. Andy, thanks! After trying several sites with 33[4~ and other variants, including .initrc mods, your simple change made home/end finally work in Bash and Nano! Wohoo!

    (PS: Ted, troll elsewhere.)

  14. Thanks Breakpoint, your octal digits work perfectly in VI

  15. thank you thank you thank you. both of you.

  16. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
    I’ve been frustrated with this for a long time. Now there’s beauty in the world again
