How to get PC keybindings on the Mac

Question

I use a PC for most of the day and Mac at home occasionally. Having to switch between 2 keyboard layouts is a massive brain adjustment.

Is there a way to at least to make Ctrl+Arrow act on a Mac like it does on a PC?

Bonus for Home, End, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End

Goto

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard > Modifier Keys...

There you can exchange the keys.

Regarding the Home & End keys, I just found this Lifehacker article (there are a few other like this out there). It involves editing the file:

~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict

Although not tested by me, it should work, see comments by churnd

	Awesome. Now how do I get the Home key to go to the beginning of the line and the End key to the End of the line? – AngryHacker Sep 15 '09 at 6:13
	Edited the answer for Home & End keys. – dertoni Sep 15 '09 at 7:16
	I use that solution for the Home and End key to navigate beginning/end of lines, and it works for me. – churnd Sep 15 '09 at 12:11
