Names of modifier keys for macOS and Windows
I always forget the symbols of the modifier keys on macOS. To add to the confusion, I swap my Cmd and Ctrl keys so I don’t lose my copy-paste muscle memory on Windows computers or keyboards.
I couldn’t find a comparison table with the macOS keys and the equivalent for Windows/Linux, so I made one:
| Icon | macOS Name | Windows Name |
|---|---|---|
| ⌘ | Command/Apple | Ctrl |
| ^ | Control | Windows |
| ⌥ | Option | Alt |
| ⌫ | Delete | Backspace |
TIL: HTML tables don’t have default CSS styling.
