My Apple is a Mac Book Pro 13 [laptop]. However, I bought a full keyboard to attach via USB plug. The full keyboard has the large black keys and supersize characters in white. Of course that doesn't mean anything to me, but we marked certain keys so I can feel where my fingers are. >From the space bar going left, first is the command key, [which is the alt key on the ms keyboard, then the option key, [which is the logo key on the MS keyboard,] then the control key, [same as the MS keybord]. From the space bar going right; first is the command key, [which is the alt key on the MS keyboard], then the option key, [which is the logo key on the MS keyboard], then the control key, [same as the MS keyboard]. I had to grasp the concept that the control key and the option key together are called v o. Combos such as v o + space, and v o + right arrow at first blew my mind. Now we've lerned: v o command + h; and v o command shift + h in safari. Say what? For Brenda; doing some of the functions in apple are similar to the MS keystrokes; similar. To copy selected text [to the clipboard],cmd+c instead of ctrl+c. To cut to the clipboard is cmd+x instead of ctrl+x. To paste is cmd+v instead of ctrl+v. To undo is cmd+z instead of ctrl+z. Artie. =====================. From: "Mike Arrigo" When using a windows keyboard, the windows key is command and the alt key is option. So, the voiceover keys would be control and alt. ================. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
