While I am willing to relearn most shortcuts on Mac, I have decided to retain these particular shortcuts.

  1. Create a KeyBindings folder in the Library folder if it doesn’t exist

  2. Create a file DefaultKeyBinding.dict

  3. Enter the content:

{
    "\UF729"  = "moveToBeginningOfLine:";
    "\UF72B"  = "moveToEndOfLine:";
    "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:";
    "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:";
}
  1. Logout and login
