How can I change the settings for OS X Lion so that the combination of Shift+End results in the selection of text from the current cursor position to the end of the current line? Specifically, I would like to be able to do this in Firefox, but if there is a general method that works for most/all applications, that would be ideal.

You can disable the keyboard shortcuts for slow-motion effects by following these instructions:
Open Terminal.
Open the
plistfile in your user's library preferences folder that contains the setting by typingopen ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plistand hit return.A window similar to this will open in Xcode:
For items
34,35, and37, setenabledtoNO.Close the file, click
Saveif prompted, and restart your system.Enjoy.
Note: 34 and 35 may not be present in the plist if you have never opened the Mission Control preferences pane and changed the "Mission Control" or "Application windows" settings. If 37 isn't present either, simply add it yourself.
This process has been tested with:
- OS X Yosemite
- OS X El Capitan
- macOS Sierra

There is a default key binding to perform this function: shift + ⌃ (control) + →.
If this won't serve, you may be interesting in Jacob Rus: Customizing the Cocoa Text System which provides instructions for creating your own keybindings dictionary.
