Timeline Shortcuts

Is there a shortcut in Storyline 360 to move the playhead to the beggining of the timeline automatically?  I found a list of keyboard shortcuts, but it seems there are very few with the timeline that I can find.  As it is now, I have to try and click at the beggining of the timeline, but if my mouse moves at all while clicking, it registers as a selection and won't play the timeline preview.  I sometime have to do this 2 or 3 time to get the playhead set near the beggining of the timeline to preview.  It would also be useful to be able to select an item on the timeline and press a shortcut to move that item to the beggining of the timeline.  Thank you in advance for any assitance you may be able to provide.

    I am on a Mac so I press FN+Arrow left.

    For the PC I am guessing it's the Home button.

    You do however need to click on the playhead first to get the focus.

    Thank you, it is indeed the Home key.  Playing around more, I also found that Ctrl + arrow key moves the play head in one second increments in either direction.  Thank your for your time and response.
