so im a total mac n00b, anyone know answers to these? i have a new macbook.

there is no home or end key, i want to be able to hit ctrl-home / ctrl-end like i do in windows to jump to the top or bottom of a webpage.

i really like hitting f3 to see all of my windows at an overview. is there a way to fix this so that i can see all of my 4 virtual screens @ once when hitting f3 without clicking down on the spaces icon? i am a huge keyboard user and hate using the mouse so id like to find out as man shortcuts as possible.

thanks!

Re: dumb osx question

I'm not 100% sure I know what you're asking on the window thing, but you can hit f3, and then follow that up with fn + f8 to see your open windows in your spaces. does that answer your question?

Re: dumb osx question

when your in a word document you can use function and the right and left arrow to jump to the beginning and end of your line of text and also use alt/option and the right or left arrow to jump to the next or prior word.

hope that helps.
