Where is the mac page up, page down, home, end key?

Switching over from Windows, I feel handicap without the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down buttons on a mac.

Sadly, the keyboard shortcut on mac is quite different...




Heres a mapping to switch from the windows shortcut

Function                      | Windows      | MAC OS X
------------------------------+--------------+-------------------
Move to line start            | Home         | Command + Left
Move to line end              | End          | Command + Right
Scroll 1 Page Up              | Page Up      | Fn + Up
Scroll 1 Page Down            | Page Down    | Fn + Down
Move to Beginning of Document | Ctrl + Home  | Command + Up
Move to End of Document       | Ctrl + End   | Command + Down

Speed up your productivity with keyboard shortcuts. Heres my collection of useful keyboard shortcut for MAC.
