Mac – How to do a diagonal-arrow keyboard shortcut

keyboardmacshortcut-menu

Occasionally, you see a keyboard shortcut for something in an app's menus that shows a diagonal-pointing arrow (one that points 45, 135, 225, or 315 degrees) rather than your standard up, right, down, or left arrow keys. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

I suggest you to open your keyboard visualizer (by clicking on the flag that is near the clock in the menu bar).

This will make appear a window with a keyboard representation.

If you press the fn key, you'll see that the will become a ↖︎ (Home key) in this window while will become ↘︎ (End key).

That's it: just press the fn+ or fn+ to obtain the diagonal-arrow.
