Many apps that I use the most support Ctrl+A to go to start of line, Ctrl+E to go to end of line. On macOS. Try it in a few apps.

That's a little thing that I enjoy! I discovered it by accident because of my Emacs fingers.
What are the equivalents for Ctrl+Home (Go to start of file) and Ctrl+End (Go to end of file?) Or Ctrl+Shift+Home / Ctrl+Shift+End to select from cursor to begin / end of file?
Cmd+Up or Down arrow to move to the beginning or end.

Cmd+Shift+Up or Down to select.
