Special Keys on Your Keyboard
Your server keyboard contains certain special keys that typewriter
keyboards don’t have. Many of these keys allow you to give commands to
the server without using the mouse. For example, in many application
programs, pressing the x (Command) key at the same time as the Q key is
often an alternative method of quitting a program.
The following table describes what you can do with the special keys on
your keyboard. The number of special keys on your keyboard may vary
from this list; it depends on the model of keyboard you have.
