Fixing home and end key for Terminal.app in Leopard

I've finally found a good solution for making the home/end keys work as expected in Terminal.app on Leopard.

  1. Go to http://www.starryhope.com/tech/apple/2006/keyfixer/, download and install it.
  2. Open up Terminal.app and go to Preferences (Cmd+,)
  3. Find the Keyboard tab for your settings
  4. Find the entry for home, click on edit, change "Action" to "send string to shell" and type in ctrl+a (it should expand it to \001)
  5. Repeat this for the 'end' key, and type in ctrl+e
Restart Terminal.app and voila!
