One issue that remains different from Macintosh to Windows is the use of different modifier keys (Command/Control, Option/Alt, etc.) to accomplish the same task. When we present key commands, we always follow the same Macintosh/Windows format %u2014 Macintosh keys are listed first, then a slash, followed by the Windows key commands.
