MACBOOK Keyboard ShortcutsLearn about common OS X keyboard shortcuts. A keyboard shortcut is a way to invoke afunction in OS X by pressing a combination of keys on your keyboard.To use a keyboard shortcut, or key combination, you press a modifier key with a character key.For example, pressing the Command key (the key that has a symbol) and the "c" key at thesame time copies whatever is currently selected (text, graphics, and so forth) into the Clipboard.This is also known as the Command-C key combination (or keyboard shortcut).A modifier key is a part of many key combinations. A modifier key alters the way otherkeystrokes or mouse/trackpad clicks are interpreted by OS X. Modifier keys include: Command,Shift, Option, Control, Caps Lock, and the Fn key. If your keyboard has an Fn key, you mayneed to use it in some of the key combinations listed below. For example, if the keyboardshortcut is Control-F2, press Fn-Control-F2.Here are the modifier key symbols you may see in OS X menus: FnCommand keyControl keyOption keyShift KeyCaps LockFunction KeyStartup shortcutsPress the key or key combination until the expected function occurs/appears (for example, holdOption during startup until Startup Manager appears, or Shift until "Safe Boot" appears).
