keyboardmacos

I'm trying to figure out how to use my Apple keyboard at times instead of the mouse. What keys do I press for the following shortcut?

Best Answer

Apple's Help menu in the finder has an article titled What are those symbols shown in menus? - the related articles at the bottom are great reading. Your specific answer is:

shift+fn+delete

The up arrow ⇧ is the shift key and the symbol ⌦ is the Forward delete symbol. Typed fn+delete.

Refer to Mac keyboard shortcuts for further information on the symbols.

To avoid editing plist or avoid command line, you can still do it in the prefs menu.

Go to System Preferences > Accessibility Preferences > Mouse and Trackpad > Options > Press Option Key five times to toggle Mouse Keys" (1st option). You have to uncheck "Ignore built-in trackpad when Mouse Keys is on", first.
