When I used Mac in 2009 to 2012 it depended on the application you were using:
Some used fn+left/fn+right, some used CMD+left/CMD+right and I think ctrl and/or alt + arrow keys were an option too.
ctrl a/ctrl e would work everywhere I think but I didn't use those as they didn't work with shift to select to the start or end of the line.
As a keyboard type of person this was a major part of what drove me away from Mac despite its many advantages :-(
