According to the Help for Keyboard shortcuts in Calc

the Home key moves the cursor to the first cell in the current row.
the End key moves the cursor to the last cell of the current row.

This is only true if one has not redefined the behaviour of the Home/End key with a DefaultKeyBindings.dict file.

I have mapped the Home key to generate the Cocoa Text system event  moveToBeginningOfLine:
and the End key to generate moveToEndOfLine:. So that I get the behaviour for the Home/End key in a texteditor that I 
want and am used to.

The default mapping for the Home/End key is to generate moveToBeginningOfDocument: and 
moveToEndOfDocument: I use Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End for these. Result: I have to use Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to 
get the cursor to the first/last cell of the current row, which is counter intuitive.

As far as I am concerned it is incorrect to map moveToBeginningOfDocument:  to "go to first cell of current row" and 
similar for the End key. moveToBeginningOfLine: would be more appropriate.

Calc provides no way to configure this.

Attached my DefaultKeyBindings.dict file.
