Shift+home and shift+end don't work in laptop

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and these key combinations do not work. If I toggle NumLock then Home and End without Shift don't work properly. I found some proposed solutions for older versions of Ubuntu but they refer to menu settings that no longer seem to exist.

If Home and End are sharing your numeric keypad this is by design. If not, it's odd. — Elder Geek, Jan 29 '15 at 16:12

Don't have enough reputation to mark as duplicate, but copy pasting from this other answer:

Open "keyboard preferences" ; in the "Layouts" tab, click the "Options..." button

Look for the "Miscellaneous compatibility options" group

Select the "Shift with numeric keypad keys work as in MS Windows" checkbox.

That does not exist in 14.04, but you lead me to a working solution. – Emre Jan 29 '15 at 00:54
