The Command key, ⌘, formerly also known as the Apple key or open Apple key, is a modifier key present on Apple keyboards. The Command key’s purpose is to allow the user to enter keyboard commands in applications and in the system. An “extended” Macintosh keyboard—the most common type—has two command keys, one on each side of the space bar; some compact keyboards have one only on the left.
The ⌘ symbol (the “looped square“) was chosen by Susan Kare after Steve Jobs decided that the use of the Apple logo in the menu system (where the keyboard shortcuts are displayed) would be an over-use of the logo. Apple’s adaptation of the symbol—encoded in Unicode at U+2318—was derived in part from its use in Nordic countries as an indicator of cultural locations and places of interest.[1] The symbol is known by various other names, including “Saint John’s Arms” and “Bowen knot“.
So lets get over it and learn all Shortcuts for Apple Keyboards.
