The home, page up, page down, end and the arrow keys are not working as described in the help pages.

ie home does not take the page to the top.

Did I press a function key that changed the keyboard behavior?

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.
