: Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcut Icons <keyboard-modifier-icons.jpg>
<command-modifier-icon.jpg> Mac OS X Apple-Command Key Icon -This is
the Apple or Command key icon. It’s the only key that actually has the
icon right on it (at least on newer Mac keyboards). It’s usually
referred to as the Command key, or for short, “cmd”.
<option-modifier-icon.jpg> Mac OS X Alt-Option key Icon- This is the
Alt or Option key icon. Most keyboard shortcuts reference it as Option
instead of Alt though. The common abbreviation is simply “opt”.
<control-modifier-icon.jpg> Mac OS X Control Key Icon- This is the
Control key icon. This key is used widely on PC and Mac, so most
people should know the key. It’s also the key that is used in most
shortcuts on Windows computers in place of the Command key on the Mac
(Control+C on Windows equals Command+C for copy on the Mac) . It’s
common abbreviation is “ctl”.
<shift-modifier-icon.jpg> Mac OS X Shift Key Icon- And finally, the
Shift key icon. Second to the Command key, this one is also pretty
obvious. It’s rarely ever abbreviated in shortcuts.
