Use the Command key to get to document extremities

Hey, cool! I've been wondering if OS X had equivalent behaviors for Windows' Home and End keys, which take you to the beginning and end of each line, respectively. Great to see that there's a solution.

It depends on what app you're using, though.
On almost any one-line text field, such as Safari's address or search bars (or one-line form fields in a webpage), "Up-arrow" and "Down-arrow" serve as home and end.

In Word, you have to use the actual "Home" and "End" keys (Fn-left and Fn-right on my PowerBook G4).

In TextEdit, there isn't a way as far as I know, to go to the beginning or end of the line.
