Keyboard MappingWhen you attach a Windows keyboard to a Mac, all of the modifier keys are mapped to the corresponding Mac modifier keys: ‘Command' is mapped to the ‘Windows' key. ‘Option' is mapped to the ‘Alt (left)' key. ‘Option + Control' is mapped to the ‘Alt GR (right)' key. As noted above, the Alt key is the same as the Option key on the Mac, while the Windows key is the same as the Command key. The problem is that on a Windows keyboard, these two keys are swapped in respect to their normal placement on the Mac keyboard. Since their functions are identical, you could just get used to their locations on the Windows. We run through the various key combinations using Alt/Option, Control, Command, Fn and other keys on your Mac keyboard. Including key combinations for saving, copying, pasting, printing, keys to.
