How to home and end key remapping like windows in mac osx.

Have you ever used windows? And now you are using mac?

When I first time to use mac. It's very uncomfortable using home,end keys.

In mac. Home and End key is used like following images.

If you press home key when a cursor is in middle of line.

the cursor moves front of current document.

If you press end key? the cursor moves end of current document.

It's very uncomfortable.

Now we are going to change key mapping for home, end keys like windows pc.
