Main article: Keyboard shortcuts are a common aspect of most modern operating systems and associated software applications. Their use is pervasive enough that some users consider them an important element of their routine interactions with a computer.
ControllerMate building blocks are triggered by controls on devices or MIDI messages. Each type of building block performs a small task. ControllerMate now includes more than 70 types of building blocks! Some building blocks respond directly to controls on devices.
Whether used as a matter of personal preference or for, the pervasiveness of common conventions means that a meaningful comparison of keyboard shortcuts can be made across various widely used operating systems. Cells with a yellow background in the tables below denote Apple's.
General shortcuts A note regarding 's shortcuts is that they can be changed and the below list contains the defaults. Some of the combinations are not true for localized versions of operating systems. For example, in a non-English version of Windows, the Edit menu is not always bound to the E shortcut. Furthermore, many shortcuts (such as Ctrl+ Z, Alt+ E, etc.) are just common conventions and are not handled by the operating system. Whether such commands are implemented (or not) depends on how an actual application program (such as an editor) is written. Not all applications follow (all of) these conventions, so if it doesn't work, it isn't compatible.

Takes you to the 'Switch User' screen when has been enabled (enabled by default in XP). Shows task manager in Windows XP if the welcome screen is enabled.
Otherwise displays an NT-style menu, with the option of launching the task manager; likewise for Vista. ^ On Mac OS, OS X, and macOS, the key commonly called ↵ Enter is properly called ↩ Return, while ⌅ Enter is a separate key normally located on the or invoked as ⌥ Opt+ ↩ Return (mainly on keyboards without a numeric keypad). For the concept of 'selected text' see also. In whole document (%), substitute ( s) fosh by fish, don't stop at one substitution per line ( g) and ask for confirmation for each substitution ( c). ^ In Microsoft Windows, all shortcuts with Alt+ Space followed by another key are language dependent.
The Alt+ Space combination opens the window menu, and the following key selects from the menu. As the menu labels (and their underlined hotkeys) vary with the Windows system language, the hotkeys are different for international versions of Microsoft Windows, and may change if users change their Windows system language preference. The given examples are valid for English user preferences/version of Windows.
The WinSplit window manager application for Windows knows to emulate this behaviour. There is no single consistent shortcut for closing a document or quitting an application in Windows XP. In many applications, Ctrl+ W or Ctrl+ F4 closes a document and Alt+ F4 quits.
In other applications where each document is in its own window, such as later versions of, Ctrl+ W, Ctrl+ F4, and Alt+ F4 close a document, and there is no consistent shortcut for quitting an application. macOS uses ⌘ Cmd+ W Close (window), ⌘ Cmd+ Q Quit (application), and ⌘ Cmd+ ⌥ Opt+ Esc Force Quit (application); ⌥ Option+ F4 can be used to quit certain services or applications. Quit is closest to Kill. References. Article: HT2490.
