Keyboard Shortcuts
On a Mac, use Cmd in place of Ctrl for
every shortcut that has one, Option in place of
Alt, and fn with the function keys
(fn+F1, fn+F6) unless your function keys are
set to work as standard keys. Single-letter keys, Enter,
Backspace and Escape are the same. The Mac’s
delete key is Backspace; for Delete use
fn+delete, or Cmd+D.
