Japan Display Inc, Sharp Corp and South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd have all been tapped to make the screens, said the sources, who asked not to be identified. Reuters

PCs and MacBooks have always had only very little differences, as pointed out by CNET. However, with the new Mac keyboard, there are two specific keys that have gone missing, but can be found on the PC keyboard.

In lieu of the Home and End keys, Apple has created a set of keyboard shortcuts that can be used for jumping either to the beginning or the end of a certain page.

For instance, to jump to the bottom portion of a page, the Mac user can click the Function key and the right arrow key. For the top portion of the page, however, users will have to press the Function key and the left arrow key.

This aforementioned Mac keyboard shortcut can be used on most of today’s non-editable pages, and can also be applied to several editable pages, as well. Users can test it out with the all-new Photos app, Safari, iTunes, Firefox, and Chrome.

The shortcut can also be used for editing a certain document with the use of LibreOffice. Sadly, it cannot be used for those who tend to edit documents using Google Drive.

Another Mac keyboard shortcut can also be utilized in lieu of the Home and End keys. Mac users can also make use of the Command key and the down arrow key in order to jump to the very end of the page. The Command and up arrow key may be used for getting to the top portion of a page.

This particular shortcut has been proven to work with Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. Thankfully, it will reportedly work for editing pages both with the Google Drive and the LibreOffice. Sadly, though, it will not work for scrolling through iTunes and Photos.

Apart from the Mac keyboard, Apple has also created some new shortcuts with a Bluetooth keyboard that will allow iOS users to simplify system-wide tasks, such as launching a search page. This app is actually pretty much the same with the one that is being offered by OS X, according to Apple Insider.
