After 3 years of running OSX on my Macbooks one would think I should be used to it by now. But it still annoys me enough so that I use an external keyboard for any programming work.

Take a look at BetterTouchTool. You can bind any key combination to home, end, pgup, or pgdn.

What do you guys use those keys for? I never had to use them before.

Not sure why I was down voted, it was a genuine question. I'm currently on my friend's MacBook so I can't try them out...
