Option, and Control) are not highlighted.

Filtering the View by Modifier Keys

You can use the modifier key buttons (Command, Shift, Option, and Control) at the top
of the Command Editor to quickly see which keys work in conjunction with the various
modifier keys.

To filter by modifier keys:

1

Click one of the four modifier key buttons at the top of the Command Editor (or click
one of the modifier keys on the virtual keyboard).

Keys assigned to work in conjunction with the selected modifier key appear marked
with a dark gray dot.

2

If necessary, click another modifier key button (or modifier key in the virtual keyboard)
to create a combination.

The virtual keyboard updates to show which keys are assigned to shortcuts that use
the combined modifier keys.

list. When you select a key in the virtual keyboard, this area displays a list of all
keyboard shortcuts associated with that key.
