I'm an avid touch typist. Is there a way that I can make the "End" and "Home" keys work like I'd like in Project Builder? If I hit the "End" key with my little pinky I want the cursor to jump to the end of the current line that I'm editing. Conversely, if I hit "Home" I want the cursor to shoot back to the beginning of the line. Is this possible? I haven't come across anything in PB's preferences that would allow me to do this.

From the Expert Preferences Notes in PB's help menu:

Customizing text editor key bindings

You can find documentation on how to customize key bindings for the Cocoa text system at http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/...Bindings.html. In addition to the standard Cocoa key binding override file that you can use (~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict), ProjectBuilder supports application-specific key bindings that can be defined in the file ~/Library/KeyBindings/PBKeyBinding.dict. This file has the same format as the DefaultKeyBinding.dict which is detailed in the document whose URL is above.

The TextDefaultsAndBindings document also details some defaults that can be used to change various things about the way the text system behaves.
