All I know is that as far as Orca key events are concerned - and this probably
originates in the keyboard handling code of the X window system - the numeric
keypad keys are distinct from the cursor keys and the home/end/page up/page
down keys found on a full-sized 104-key keyboard.

Thus, which key events are received by Orca would depend on which keyboard
scan codes are produced when you simulate the home and end keys by means of
the separate keypad or the function keys of the laptop.
