  • Under Files and Folders section, enable New Terminal at Folder and/or New Terminal Tab at Folder and assign a shortcut key to it. Option 2: If you want the shortcut key to work anywhere, create a new Service using Automator, then go to the Keyboard Shortcut to assign a shortcut key to it. Known limitation: not work from the desktop.
  • One of the quickest and easiest ways to open Terminal on Mac is with Spotlight Search. 1) If you have the Spotlight Search button in your menu bar, click it. Otherwise, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + Space. 2) Type in 'Terminal'. 3) You should see the Terminal application under Top Hit at the top of your results.

On Mac OS X - the following keyboard shortcuts work by default. Note that you have to make Option key act like Meta in Terminal preferences (under keyboard tab) alt (⌥) + F to jump F orward by a word alt (⌥) + B to jump B ackward by a word.

Key binding allow you to swap around the action of keys (or key combinations) on the Mac keyboard.

The default key bindings for the Home and End keys in macOS are different to most other operating systems.

To remaps the key bindings of the current user, edit the default keybinding file:
~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict

If they are not already in place - just create the file & directory.

Do not edit the built-in /System/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict file, as that will affect all user accounts on the machine. The personalized bindings will take precedence so that is all you need to edit.

The sample file below includes some help text and the codes to set Home and End to Start/End of line:

This remapping works in most Mac apps (but some like BBEdit, XCode and Firefox do their own key handling) for the terminal app see below.

After editing the DefaultKeyBinding.dict file, you will need to restart the relevant application.

Home/End mapping via Jon Evans, Start/End mapping via osxnotes.net who have lots of other remapping suggestions.

Key mapping in system preferences:

The key remapping available in system preferences allows swapping the 4 keys: Caps Lock, Control, Option and Command . This is to support non-Apple keyboards which may have the keys in a slightly different place.

Terminal.app

Terminal.app does not respect the macOS Key Bindings, but you can set terminal-specific keybindings in the Terminal.app preferences:

Profile > Keyboard > then click + to add a keybinding

The shortcuts you'll need to add for Home and End (via evilissimo):

ESC[H - For the Home key
ESC[F - For the End key

When you type these in (press the actual Esc key) they should appear as the following escape codes:
