Default Key command to put playhead at the END of a clip? (Mac)

I can't remember - what is the MAC key command to put the playhead at the END of a selected clip?

Thanks!

W to end of selection (az command focus enabled)
Q to start of selection

Only Centers the view

To be clear, Opt + F centers view on edit cursor and/or a time selection (and zooms for me).

On the other hand, (Edit Keyboard Focus enabled), Q centers view on selection start and W centers view on selection end, without changing zoom.

Actually, to move the edit cursor to (beginning and) end, respectively it's ("down" button to beginning and) "up" button to the end. THIS is actually moving the playhead, whereas Opt + F, Q, and W, are view shortcuts. Up and Down move the cursor, which moves the timeline playhead, if Edit Selection Linked to Timeline is enabled.

Thanks!
Tab moves cursor to end of clip. Opt-tab moves to beginning of clip. All assuming "Tab to Transient" is not enabled (cmd-opt-tab enables / disenables).

Rich Breen is the correct answer to the title question.
“Tab” it is. In two flavors.

"tab" goes to end of a clip IF tab to transient is off
"up" goes to end of a clip IF clip is selected.
"w" goes to end of a clip IF view centering is what's desired.

I use all of these whenever. I like the options, I don't see a clear "correct" as they are alternatives and variations. Really it depends where my hand is and what kind of task or process I am operating whether tab or up is closer to my index or pinky etc...
