MacOS – Apple keyboard remap keypad comma to dot

In macOS Sierra, you have to Ctrl+Shift+, in numeric pad to obtain a regular dot.

Found this trying to do the same as everyone else and discovered it was different now.

Hope this helps.

UPDATE: in macOS Mojave, you can also use Ctrl+Alt+, in numeric pad to obtain a regular dot. I found some apps (I'm looking at you Slack) don't allow the original answer, but do the update.

One option is to create ~/Library/KeyBindings/ and save a property list like this as ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict:

{
  "\UF729"  = moveToBeginningOfLine:;
  "\UF72B"  = moveToEndOfLine:;
  "$\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:;
  "$\UF72B" = moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:;
}

Quit and reopen applications to apply the changes. Note that DefaultKeyBinding.dict is not supported by some applications like Xcode or Firefox.

In Terminal you can assign home (↖) to control-a and end (↘) to control-e from Preferences > Settings > Keyboard. That will leave you with no key combinations to scroll to the top or bottom of a window though.

It might be easier to just use the default keybindings. In most native text views:

• control-A or option-up goes to the beginning of a paragraph
• control-E or option-up goes to the end of a paragraph
• command-left goes to the beginning of a line
• command-right goes to the end of a line
