    [John Mullan] “WTF is a home key on a mac!”

    If you have a full Mac keyboard, there’s a home key.

    If you have a laptop or the little wireless keyboard, then use Fn+LeftArrow for Home and Fn+RightArrow for end. Likewise, Fn+UpArrow is PageUp and Fn+DownArrow is PageDown.

    Well… it is right. You have three options:

    Press all the buttons. I do Shift and Fn with my left pinky and left ring finger, then the arrow key with my right index finger.

    Buy a real keyboard. Any USB keyboard will do (if you buy a Windows keyboard, you can swap Command and Option in the system preferences under Keyboard so that it feels like a Mac keyboard). These will have a home key so you could use the standard Shift+Home shortcut.

    Reassign the keybinding. Via the menus, click Premiere Pro > Keyboard shortcuts. Search for selected clip start and reassign the key to whatever you’d like.
