You can use Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Dn by holding fn while using the arrow keys.

Yes, that's how you use them on a laptop or Apple bluetooth keyboard.

But the point is, on Windows or Linux, they move the cursor, but on the Mac, they scroll the view but don't move the cursor. Home scrolls to the beginning and End scrolls to the end.

On the Mac, to move the cursor by larger amounts, you combine command or option with an arrow key.
