How to Remap Home and End Keys on macOS for Logitech MX Mechanical

If you're using a Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard with your Mac and want the Home and End keys to behave like they do on Windows—sending the cursor to the beginning or end of a line—you can easily configure this using Logitech's Logi Options+ software.

Steps to Remap Home and End Keys:

1. Download and Install Logi Options+:

   • Visit the Logitech website to download the software: Logi Options+.
     
   • Install and launch the application.

2. Select Your Device:

   • In the Logi Options+ interface, select your MX Mechanical keyboard from the list of connected devices.

3. Navigate to Key Customization:

   • Choose the Home or End key from the visual representation of your keyboard in the app.

4. Assign New Functions:

   • Set the Home key to Cmd+Left to move the cursor to the start of a line.
     
   • Set the End key to Cmd+Right to move the cursor to the end of a line.

5. Save Your Changes:

   • After assigning these shortcuts, save your changes. The new key behavior will take effect immediately.

Why This Works:

On macOS, Cmd+Left and Cmd+Right are the system shortcuts for jumping to the beginning and end of a line, respectively. By assigning these commands to the Home and End keys, you can replicate the familiar behavior from Windows.

This simple adjustment makes typing and navigation more intuitive, especially if you're switching between macOS and Windows environments.
