Sublime Text 2: how to position cursor at begin/end of buffer?

I feel silly having to ask what seems like a basic question. I've Googled plenty, and I've examined the Default(OSX).sublime-keymap file, but I can't figure out:

How can I make the cursor jump to the beginning/end of the current buffer in Sublime2 on OSX?

Home/End scroll to the top/bottom respectively, but they do not position the cursor at the begin/end of the buffer.

Surely there is a way to do this. Some apps (e.g. Intellij) use CMD+Home/End for this, but that doesn't work either.

In windows you can use

Ctrl + Home -> to the beginning of the file
Ctrl + End -> to the end of the file

to customize short cut for "move to beginning of file" and "move to end of file"

{ "keys": ["ctrl+home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bof"} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eof"} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eof", "extend": true} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bof", "extend": true } },

These work for me (Sublime Text 2 v2.0.1 on OS X 10.7.5)

  • ⌘-↑: start of buffer
  • ⌘-↓: end of buffer

The CMD-up and -down combos are the default shortcut for moving to the start and end of text buffers on OS X. They work in Safari text areas, too, for example. As such, they are not listed in the keymap file.

An "almost" solution: as per standard OSX keybindings, shift + home/end will move the cursor from the current position to home/end, and select the text in-between. A side effect of this is that the cursor is positioned at home/end.

I would still like to know how to do this without selecting the intermediate text.
