I am trying to set the camera to the viewport on a mac laptop. I use View>Align View>Align Active Camera To View.
This gives me the view but the camera is too zoomed in. From looking on the stack exchange I believe if I press the Home key this will give me what I want. How can I do this on my macbook pro keyboard ?

    @MargretStorm No, it isn't that post is about the Number Pad, not the Home Key. – dval May 12 '16 at 13:55

For the Home command, press down the Fn+Left Arrow or Fn+Shift+Left Arrow.

Home : Fn+Control+Left Arrow (Works exactly similar to Windows Home key)

End : Fn+Control+Right Arrow

Page Up : Fn+Up Arrow

Page Down : Fn+Down Arrow

Essentially, all the buttons that would normally appear above the arrows on a windows keyboard, are mimicked by using arrow keys with modifiers.

I don't know why the other answers are talking about un-related number pad, which is another key group entirely.

  • I believe HOME is just fn+Left Cursor, and END is fn+Right Cursor. No need to press CTRL (source: http://osxdaily.com/2015/06/17/home-end-button-mac-keyboard-functions/) – Jay Versluis May 12 '16 at 16:53
  • This must be out of date I suppose. None of these key combinations do anything, except for one of them, which opened up a bunch of console windows and such, which I'm now unable to close. – N. Virgo Jul 05 '20 at 09:24

    no, it is NOT out of date. Fn + Leftarrow works. – Chris Jan 27 '21 at 11:54

Ctrl + Alt + Numpad 0, or maybe Cmd + Alt + Numpad 0.

To emulate the Numpad, go to:
File > User Preferences > Input > Emulate Numpad.

It should be about half way down in the left.
