How to assign to the "home" key the action "Go to the start of line" Globally Is there a way in which I can replicate the Windows way of going to the start of line by using home and not &#8984; + &larr; ? 

I did it in Eclipse, but I'd rather do it globally. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8
If you don't mind a third party application, KeyRemap4Macbook can do it for you (and a whole lot more too).
