list area to view all commands corresponding to that key.

Â Tabs: There are tabs at the top of the Keyboard Layout window for each modifier

key or combination of modifier keys, such as No Modifiers, cmd (Command key),

shift (Shift key) and opt (Option key). Click a tab to display the icons for commands

used when a modifier key or combination of modifier keys is pressed along with

another key.

Â Lock button: Click to lock and unlock the keyboard layout so you can make and

prevent changes.

Â Reset button: Click to reset all keyboard shortcuts to their original default key

combinations.

Â Clear button: Click to clear all keyboard shortcuts, so they are blank. Some general
