Andy, thanks! After trying several sites with 33[4~ and other variants, including .initrc mods, your simple change made home/end finally work in Bash and Nano! Wohoo!

(PS: Ted, troll elsewhere.)

Great tip, this one actually works in VI!!!

Yeah, these mappings are good for use in VI and some other command line apps, but indeed, it doesn’t actually work (home/end) in the terminal itself. I seriously can’t stand how this is even a problem. Ugh, Apple, you do so well in general, but this is actually a point of real frustration for me!

Woo!! Breakpoint in the house!!!!! Almost every site out there has the quick fix with ctrl+a and ctrl+e but does NOT work in vi. I copy/pasted your home and end codes and they worked great in vi both in normal mode and insert mode. Rock! Thank you!
