Mac key icons

Post by Chris Price »

I prefer to use keystrokes, and frequently need to insert a page break. Mellel gives 2 small icons for this in the menu, the first of which stands for SHIFT. What does the second icon (a dash with an upward-pointing arrowhead beneath) stand for?

This is not specific to Mellel - any app will show these.
I think what you're refereeing to is the icon for option/alt

Chris, the "dash with an upward-pointing arrowhead beneath" stands for enter. A regular keyboard in a mac (the one with a number pad) has one key for return and another one for enter, both of them are, however, confusingly labeled "enter." The actual enter key is the small one. Many developers use both keys for different purposes. In a Macbook the return and enter key are combined into one key. To use the actual enter key in a macbook you have to press both the function and the enter key. I hope this answers your question!
