The Command key originally had an Apple logo on it, but Steve Jobs thought displaying the Apple logo throughout the original Macintosh's menu would be overusing the logo.Ī designer chose the ⌘ symbol to replace it.
This symbol appears throughout the Mac's menus to indicate when you can press the Command key along with another key to issue a keyboard shortcut. It's a modifier key you can press to issue keyboard shortcuts to applications.įor example, while you press Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, and Ctrl+V to copy, cut, and paste on Windows, you press Command+C, Command+X, and Command+V to do the same on a Mac. The Command key doesn't do anything on its own.
Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C to copy text won't work. Apple's Mac keyboards actually do have a Control (Ctrl) key, but the Control key doesn't function like the Control key on Windows.
