set_home_end_keys.sh

#/bin/bash
# My Dell Latitude 7480 does not have physical Home and End keys (they require a Fn modifier),
# this script fixes that by remapping the Alt and Ctrl keys to Home and End.
# I used the following references:

if grep --quiet add_home_and_end_keys$ ~/.bashrc; then
	echo "it is already done!"
else
	echo "mapping right alt and control to Home and End"
	# copy some files into home dir
