@synthomat any key can be remapped in OSX, and home/end is the most changed because it's annoying the way OSX has implemented it.
All you have to do is create a file: ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
And put the following content in it:

{
    "\UF729"  = moveToBeginningOfParagraph:; // home
    "\UF72B"  = moveToEndOfParagraph:; // end
    "$\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfParagraphAndModifySelection:; // shift-home
    "$\UF72B" = moveToEndOfParagraphAndModifySelection:; // shift-end
}

And logout/login again
However, robomongo is ignoring this key remapping, I have home/end keys remapped like described above and working for any other software.
Robomongo however ignores the remapping.

So please developers, make robomongo aware of OSX remapped keybingins, as it indeed is a bug

@myaskevich looks like home/end don't work at all on osx with pc keyboards. Just use Win + Arrow Keys
