Now let’s move on to the keys that have different functions on Mac and Windows / Linux. So let’s answer the following questions: “Enter”, on the other hand, is used to rename, not open files. The latter is accomplished with the Command + O shortcut. “Space”, apart from its standard function, also allows you to activate a quick preview of the selected item. „F1-F12 ″ – perform the same function and are placed in the same place, but to activate them it is necessary to additionally press the“ Fn ”key in the lower left corner. By default, they activate the special functions assigned to them. “Control” is an additional function key that is used with some keyboard shortcuts, primarily related to system operation. “Command” is the equivalent of the “Ctrl” key – it has a similar function to its Windows / Linux counterpart, but is located in a slightly different place – on both sides of the space. It is also responsible for some of the functions of the “Windows” key, which, for obvious reasons, is not found on an Apple keyboard. “Option” is the equivalent of the “Alt” key – it performs the same function, but it is placed not right next to the space bar, but one key further, which can be problematic when changing at least at the beginning. While the letters and basic characters are in the same places, the Apple keyboard is slightly different from what Windows or Linux users are used to. Some keys are arranged differently, and some just perform different functions. The most problematic are:

In turn, in the long keyboard – it’s the Apple Magic Keyboard with a numeric field – an accessory recommended primarily for iMac and Mac Pro computers, in the lower left corner there is no Fn key. It has been moved to the numeric section, where it is next to Page Up and Page Down, Home and End and Delete to delete the characters on the right. The long keyboard also has more function keys: from F1 to F19. In the short keyboard – this is primarily the Apple Magic Keyboard, but also the keyboard built into MacBooks – for example, the Page Up / Page Down and Home / End keys are missing.
We can help both with both by summarizing the key differences and listing the most useful Mac keyboard shortcuts.Ĭurrently, Apple produces keyboards with two basic layouts: shortened and full.
