I am really missing the ability to hit Fn+right arrow key to get the cursor to jump to the end of a line of text. It seems to work in all other word processing type programs that I have tried on the Mac (not that I have tried many).
Is it possible to enable this for Scrivener?

In line with the Mac standard, in Scrivener you use Cmd+right arrow to jump to the end of a line of text. I say "Mac standard" because this is how TextEdit works, and Scrivener uses Apple's own text system (as does TextEdit) with no changes to navigation features such as this one. If I changed this behaviour, I would be changing the way Apple intended it to work... Thanks, Keith

Yeah, "End" and "Home" are kind of Windows based conventions that some Word processors honor. Some text movement tips:
Cmd+Arrow is for large jumps. Left and right will go to the beginning and end of the line respectively. Up and down will go to the top and bottom of the document.
Opt+Arrow is for smaller jumps. Left and right for word jumping, and up and down for paragraph jumping.
Paragraph jumping is less reliable. I'd say 50% of the applications out there do it right. Some treat it like a page up and page down. And of course, holding down Shift in combination with any of these will add the ability to select text.
