I just bought an 'Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad', then I connected it to my Macbook Pro running Lion. But the home and end key under the F14 key doesn't work as I expected. Say in 'Pages', the home key doesn't bring the cursor to the beginning of the line, while the end key takes you to the bottom of the page. Explore the world of Mac.

How To Fix Macbook Keyboard Home Repair
While Appleās full-size keyboards have dedicated Home, End, Page Up, & Page Down keys, their compact keyboards (such as those found on laptops) do not. Instead, they double-up the function of some keys. Apple does not label the second function of all the keys, so not everyone realizes their full potential!
When you hold the function (fn) key and press certain keys on Apple keyboards, it makes those keys act differently. It activates their alternate function. Here are the common ones you should know:
- Page Up is fn-Up Arrow
- Page Down is fn-Down Arrow
- Home is fn-Left Arrow
- End is fn-Right Arrow
- Enter (in the number pad of a full keyboard) is fn-Return
- Delete Right (also called Forward Delete) is fn-Delete
