Im sorry about the layout but it was like that after i typed it
and i will fix it slowly over the few day:
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 with a symbol) and the "c" key at the same
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 other keystrokes or mouse clicks are
interpreted by Mac OS X. Modifier keys include: Command,
Control, Option, Shift, Caps Lock, and the fn key (if your
keyboard has a fn key).
Here are the modifier key symbols you can see in Mac OS X menus:
Command key icon (Command key) - Sometimes called the "Apple
key"; on Apple keyboards this key also has an Apple logo (apple
logo)
Control key icon (Control key)
Option or Alt key icon (Option key) - "Alt" may also appear on
this key
Shift icon (Shift key)
Caps lock icon (Caps Lock) - Toggles Caps Lock on or off
fn (Function key)
Startup keyboard shortcuts
Press the key or key combination until the expected function
occurs/appears (for example, hold Option during startup until
Startup Manager appears, or Shift until "Safe Boot" appears).
Tip: If a startup function doesn't work and you use a
third-party keyboard, connect an Apple keyboard and try again.
