So I'm coming from pretty much a life of Windows but I bought a 2021 MBPro M1 last Autumn and to the most part I'm very happy. However there are a couple of things that irritate me and I'm wondering what the experts recommend.

There seems to be an inconsistency when clicking on a Window that doesn't have focus. Most require you to click the Window to give it focus and then click again on the Window Element (button/cursor position etc) to action it. For some reason the default calculator gets focus and actions the mouse click all in one. I'd like the whole system to operate in the way calculator does. Is this possible?

I've also invested in the Magic Keyboard with all the extra keys. What is the recommended way to remap the Start/End Document keys to instead do Start/End of line? I'm struggling to wean myself off pressing the end of document when I mean end of line.

TIA
 
Thanks for the feedback, most of the time I use a 49" ultrawide monitor as I need to view datasheets and the like while using the development tools. Having a Finder window or two are also useful. I'll check the app settings and failing that I'll look in to the split screen mode or investigate one of the Window management tools in Feek's apps thread.

For me it's never going to be quicker to press 2 keys rather than one ;) Thanks for the link though. For confusion Atom, by default, remaps the Home-End keys.
