No home? No end? BWAAAH!

Comfortably using a MacBook when you're used to the PC paradigm can be a pain. As it turns out, I find that this is usually due to the little differences: directory structures, icon locations, naming conventions, etc. However, the most important thing, for me, is whether or not I have proper command of my keyboard. Home? End? (The real) Delete? Where in the hell are they?


The following is a list of the shortcuts I use most. Sure, there are plenty more, but this should get you started:

Home
ctrl+a or cmd+<left>
End
ctrl+e or cmd+<right>
Forward one word  
opt+<right>
Back one word
opt+<left>
Delete (not BS)
ctrl+d or fn+<delete>
Transpose (BASH)
ctrl+t
Cut (BASH)
ctrl+u
Paste (BASH)
ctrl+y

Cheers.
