Not only for those who have switched from Windows to Mac like me, but also for those who have been using Mac for a long time, it can be confusing to distinguish the various special key symbols (⌥, ⌘, ⇧, ^, ⎋) used within the macOS operating system. Personally, I spent my entire life using Windows and was taken aback when I recently switched to Mac and saw these strange symbols on the keyboard. For those who, like me, have recently transitioned to macOS and are still not accustomed to the special keys and shortcuts, I’d like to share a method that can help you remember the symbols of the special keys more easily.
