Shift End and Shift Home highlights text

Is there a way to set keyboard features like I have mentioned in the subject.
I have only just installed xfce today for the first time, it is much more impressive than I thought it would be.
I have just dropped Gnome as version 3 has turned it into a nightmare.
I am running Arch Linux and have been for a few years now.
I have searched the forum before posting and found nothing on this.

Works for me, Xfce 4.6, no special configuration. No ideas come to mind, as to why it isn't working for you.

Re: Shift End and Shift Home highlights text

It does work for me on the dedicated Home and End buttons but not on the keypad home and end buttons.

It is just a habit of what buttons I use, I can eventually get used to using the dedicated buttons if I have to.
In Gnome and KDE they have it under misc keyboard and call it "Make Shift home and Shift end work as in MS Windows"

Thanks for the reply.

Works for me if I toggle the Num Lock key.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

I will solve it eventually and when I do I will post the answer here.

Thanks
