Update august 4th 2011: Behaviour slightly pooped since Lion (Mac OS X 10.7). Now Home and End act as a back and forward button respectively, unless the cursor is within a text field in your browser.
Nothing I tried worked until I installed KeyRemap4MacBook (http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook).
The most frustrating ones are Home and End. In nearly every OS, Home has meant “go to the beginning of the line” and End has meant “go to the end of the line,” but on the Mac, the default has always been for Home to scroll a document up to the top and for End to scroll the document down to the bottom. Hopefully, we were able to give you answers and helped you fix your problems with a stuck Mac OS Sierra installation. If you have done all the steps above and you are still having installation issues, we suggest you take your Mac to the nearest Apple Store and have an Apple technician check it. Apple, being famously secretive, does not publish any end-of-life schedules, and as we are not Apple employees or contractors, we don't have that knowledge either. Once Apple releases a new major operating system version via the App Store, there will be no further point release upgrades to the prior operating system release. Mac OS is a name with a proud history that bridged the gap from the latter days of the original Mac operating system through the first decade of OS X. It does what it says on the tin–it’s an.
This installs to your preference pane and the option is found under “For PC Users” and is called “Use PC Style Home/End”.
Everything below this point is useless, and only saved for luls.
This is how I altered ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict to change the behaviour of the Home and End keys in Mac OS X 10.6.8. (The directory and file did not exist so I had to create them manually.)
{
/* Remap Home / End to be correct :-) */
'UF729' = 'moveToBeginningOfLine:'; /* Home */
'UF72B' = 'moveToEndOfLine:'; /* End */
'$UF729' = 'moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:'; /* Shift + Home */
'$UF72B' = 'moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:'; /* Shift + End */
'^UF729' = 'moveToBeginningOfDocument:'; /* Ctrl + Home */
'^UF72B' = 'moveToEndOfDocument:'; /* Ctrl + End */
'$^UF729' = 'moveToBeginningOfDocumentAndModifySelection:'; /* Shift + Ctrl + Home */
'$^UF72B' = 'moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection:'; /* Shift + Ctrl + End */
}

Mac OS X and Home / End keys
The default key bindings for the home and end keys in Mac OS X are different to any other operating system I’ve ever used. By default, they seem to be bound to the viewport, rather than the line of text you are editing. In a multi-line document, the Home key scrolls up to the top of the document, and the End key scrolls down to the bottom. In each case the caret stays where it was.
As a programmer I find this behaviour to be just plain wrong— I want Home and End to move to the start and end of the current line.
I have found a way to “fix” this problem by editing the default keybindings file,~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict. Create the directory and / or the file if they’re not already there, and make it look like this:
If there are already entries in DefaultKeyBinding.dict, just add the 4 new mappings above to the main section of your file.

Which macOS version is the latest?
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.
