Honestly I can't stand how mac software often has these helpful key command tips but they aren't written the way the keyboard is labeled. Like. Half of those symbols aren't even on my mac keyboard, because it has alt and shift written out. I can never remember the high quality display key command because 1. I'm using a windows-first keyboard and 2. What the fuck are those glyphs
@masklayer (Command in your case would probably be mapped to the Windows key, and Option would be mapped to Alt)
@masklayer Oh, neat! Logitech tends to be pretty good with that kind of stuff. (I sprung for the specific Mac layout model of my Bluetooth keyboard, though.)
@sanspoint I honestly didn't notice this keyboard was like this when I chose it but it's like perfect for how I use it.
@masklayer @sanspoint Whoa, are those buttons reflected correctly in their respective operating systems?
If so, that is kind of awesome, I always have to jankily remap when I use a win keyboard on mac.
Anyway I agree the symbols are weird. Here's how I remember:
⌃ is just like Linux, means Control
⇧ looks like the shift button on Android and iOS and some win KBs
⌥ Opt key looks weirdest, but branches to 2 *options*
⌘ Cmd, looks splatty, and you mash it the most
@drjeats @masklayer Thanks for including the actual characters. I'm at work on a Windows machine and couldn't be arsed to find them to copy/paste.
@sanspoint @masklayer Np, gahbless that character viewer thing you can put in the mac menu bar 😄
@drjeats @sanspoint Yeah I'm not sure how it works but it's pretty seamless. Thanks for explaining. Option made no sense to me and now it does a little.
@sanspoint not quite but it's labeled https://slime.global/media/zdLwdIqZZk0F2mJeIok
