Thanks. I am a MS Visual Studio guy and so when i see some of the clumsy workings of XCode and Interface Builder i just throw out common sense for all other aspects of it.

XCode has key mapping in it, you don't need to crack anything at all, just go XCode -> Preferences -> Keys… something and define you keys shorcuts.
Otherwise you could use <Alt>-> to go the end and <Alt><- to go to the start of a line.
