Jump to the end

Press ⌘↓ on the Mac or Ctrl+End on Windows to drop the cursor at the very end of a document, text box, or long page in one keystroke. On most Mac keyboards there is no dedicated End key, so ⌘↓ (or Fn+→) is the reliable equivalent.

Select to the end

Hold Shift to select everything from the cursor to the bottom: ⌘⇧↓ on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+End on Windows — handy for grabbing the tail of a file before copy or delete.

App-by-app behavior

  • Microsoft Word / Google Docs: Ctrl+End (Win) / ⌘↓ (Mac) moves to the end of the whole document.
  • Excel / Google Sheets: Ctrl+End jumps to the last used cell (the bottom-right corner of your data), not the bottom of the sheet. ⌘↓ on Mac does the same inside a data block.
  • Web browsers: the End key or ⌘↓ scrolls to the bottom of the page; Home / ⌘↑ returns to the top.
  • Terminal / code editors: Ctrl+End goes to the end of the file; in VS Code it also works mid-document.

Cursor vs scroll

These shortcuts move the cursor and scroll the view with it. If you only want to scroll without moving the cursor, use the mouse wheel or trackpad — the cursor stays where it was.
