[Metalab] Apple Keyboard

[Sergey V. Mikhanov]

OK, thanks everybody for that info. Home key bringing cursor to the
top of the document is actually an old Unix construct from the
terminal world of 70s, so I had the suspicion that this is not
incidental.

Speaking of Mac OS shortcuts, as a half-year Windows switcher I really
miss the PgUp/PgDn key that scrolls the view and brings the cursor up
or down correspondingly. Does anybody knows what's the shortcut for
that on Mac? I just started Xcode, and tried fn-↑ (this scrolls the
view, but keeps the cursor where it was, so when you start typing, the
view is scrolled back), and cmd-↑ (this scrolls to the top of the
document, AND brings the cursor there). Any advice on that?
