Description ionuion 2014-04-23 11:24:56 UTC 
Environment:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706)
Java: 1.8.0; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b70
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0-b132
System: Mac OS X version 10.9.2 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

This affects at least Macbook laptops and compact apple keyboards. In both cases the home, pgdown, pgup, end are not present, have surrogates instead:
HOME   Fn+left_arrow
END    Fn+right_arrow
PGDOWN Fn+down_arrow
PGUP   Fn+up_arrow.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Preferences. Go to the Keymap section.
2. In the Search field enter 'Insertion Point to End of Document'
3. Double click the Shortcut cell.
4. Press Fn+Ctrl+right_arrow

Expected result:
Ctrl+END picked up
Actual result:
UNDEFINED is printed for both Fn key down and Fn key up
The result in the cell is:
UNDEFINED Ctrl+END UNDEFINED
