Yeah, what's the deal with home and end! I just got a mac and I'm still trying to get to the begining and ends of lines. Any solutions?

Also why does iPhoto open every time I connect my iPhone? That's pretty annoying.

Cmd-Left, Cmd-Right are the traditional Mac keys, or you can use Emacs-style Ctrl-A, Ctrl-E.

iPhoto preferences, General. "Connecting camera opens: No application"

Most people don't know this, but yes: any Cocoa text view responds to many Emacs c-key shortcuts.

Far as I know, Home = Cmd+Left and End = Cmd+Left

Also, to stop iPhoto opening, open iPhoto > Preferences, set 'Connecting camera opens' to 'No application'.
