Using Home and End Key on MAC External Keyboard in Royal TSX Terminal AND Regular MAC applications (apps)

I went all over the know Interwebz Universe attempting to find a solution for this and finally figured out a way to make both happen.

The original problem was that I could use Karabiner Elements for Mac to setup my External MAC keyboard to use various familiar Windows keyboard actions (such as pressing the HOME or END key) in applications such as TextEdit/Word/Outlook/etc.

However... the problem was, when launching Terminal (specifically in Royal TSX) I was unable to make it work.

It became an either/or relationship. I was only able to get one or the other working.

SOLUTION



PART I

In Karabiner Element I go to Add Complex Modifications

Then click on Add rule




Then search for 'home' and the following rule that will use COMMAND+a  for HOME and COMMAND+e for END


Import the rules

And then select ENABLE for these TWO


Now you will see the following



Now in your apps such as TextEdit/Outlook/Word/etc, pressing the HOME key will bring the cursor to the beginning of the line,or END key to the end of the line.



PART II

In ROYAL TSX

Locate your Terminal and go to properties


Scroll down to ADVANCED --> INPUT then go to  KEY MAPPINGS



Click on ADD Then click SET and press the HOME key


It will then populate the keystroke. Scroll down and select SEND HEX CODE


For the HOME Key Enter 0x10




Repeat the above except for the END key, use 0x05
|


Now back at the main screen we can see we have to new combinations for the HOME and END key




SUCCESSFUL RESULTS
