To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including modifier keys:

Start or restart your Mac and immediately press and hold shift on your keyboard. Release the shift key when you see the login window. You can leave safe mode by restarting your Mac without pressing any keys during startup.

On keyboards made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command.

Some Windows keyboard shortcuts conflict with the corresponding default Mac OS keyboard shortcuts. This topic flags such shortcuts with an asterisk (. ). To use these shortcuts, you may have to change your Mac keyboard settings to change the Show Desktop shortcut for the key. Change system preferences for keyboard shortcuts with the mouse.
Customize Existing Keyboard Shortcuts Get to the keyboard shortcuts tab Click the Apple logo from the top-left corner, click System Preferences, click Keyboard, and click the Shortcuts tab on the Keyboard window. This takes you to the keyboard shortcuts tab.

Some keys on some Apple keyboards have special symbols and functions, such as for display brightness , keyboard brightness , Mission Control, and more. If these functions aren't available on your keyboard, you might be able to reproduce some of them by creating your own keyboard shortcuts. To use these keys as F1, F2, F3, or other standard function keys, combine them with the Fn key.
