    I'm trying to get the home/end keys working in Parallels on the mac wireless keyboard that doesn't have dedicated keys. I don't just need the home/end though I actually need the home/end with shift so that it makes a selection. I've tried QuicKeys in conjunction but I've not found a solution yet. Any one have any suggestions?

    I recommend getting AutoHotkey, which is free, and which you script to put whatever keystrokes you want onto other keys. E.g., to use F1 and F2, you need only write:

    F1::Send {Home}
    F2::Send {End}

    ;;For shifted states

    +F1::Send whatever
    +F2::Send another whatever

    autohotkey.com

    I've used AutoHotkey for years, couldn't live without it. You can make assignments program-specific. Very flexible and powerful language.
