But honestly: How many of them do you really know by heart? Here comes Ke圜ue to help! How is Ke圜ue concerned with the Apple key?Īn average Mac OS X application has 40 to 80 keyboard shortcuts. Many of them can be executed by pressing the Apple key together with other keys.
Keyboard shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. Since we are spending much time in front of our computers, we want to work as efficiently as possible to save time. If you hold down the Apple key and then press another key on your keyboard, the corresponding menu command will be executed.įor example, Command-'N' will create a new document and Command-'S' will save the current document in most applications. The primary goal of the Apple key is to execute menu commands without the need to move your hand off the keyboard.
It is usually labelled with the Apple logo and a cloverleaf sign - on some keyboards also just with the word 'command'. The 'Apple key', also known as the 'Command key' is a key available on every Mac keyboard.
