To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys, then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command + C (copy), hold down the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including modifier keys:
- Command (o Cmd) ⌘
- Shift ⇧
- Option (o Alt) ⌥
- Control (o Ctrl) ⌃
- Bloq Shifts ⇪
- Fn
The Command key, ⌘, formerly also known as the Apple key or open Apple key, is a modifier key present on Apple keyboards. The purpose of the Command key is to allow the user to enter keyboard commands into applications and the system. An “extended” Macintosh keyboard-the most common type-has two Command keys, one on either side of the spacebar; some compact keyboards have only one on the left.
WARNING
Keyboard shortcuts may vary depending on language and keyboard layout. Keyboard shortcuts are likely to be different if you use a Colemak, Dvorak or AZERTY keyboard.
