Standard shortcuts for this on macOS are Ctrl+A/E and Command+Arrows. You can remap it on the editor settings (ui_text_caret_line_* shortcuts).

It is still a bit strange that the HOME and END keys have no functionality at all out of the box. Whether it should go to the start/end of the line or the start/end of the script file itself.

The PGUP and PGDN keys work by scrolling through the script without requiring additional bindings. It is certainly unexpected that HOME and END do nothing at all.

In any editor on macOS these have some functionality, including the terminal. It does seem like a bug to tell someone "add bindings to a key with typical, expected behavior because we bound it to something else".
