MacOS – macvim shortcut ( and in general)

keyboardmacosmacvimshortcut

In my quest to understand how to indent & unindent on MacVim using elegant shortcuts that are built-in… I couldn't figure how.

The following links explain that > < keys will be handy, but none work on my keyboard, hence I wanted to clarify if these keys are something other than visible on the physical macbook, but no explanations are found.

Please can someone give me more guidance?

You have to hold the shift key then double-press either > or < to indent/unindent.
