Understand iOS gestures


EDITED BY JO MEMBERY


When you see a shortcut like
ç+å+C, hold all but the
last key, then press that one.

ç is the Command key,
which is also labelled cmd.

å means the Option key,
labelled alt or opt.

≈ means the Control key,
labelled ctrl, and shown as ^
in shortcuts in the menu bar.

ß is the Shift key, which is
typically just labelled shift.

∫ means the Delete key,
which deletes to the left of the

insertion point. Press ƒ+∫
to delete to the right.

† is the Tab key, which shifts
the focus between some
controls in windows and web
forms. Turn on Full Keyboard
Access in System Preferences
to jump between all controls.

Master Mac keyboard shortcuts


A tap is a brief contact of
(usually) one finger on your
device’s screen.

To drag is to move a finger
across the screen to scroll
or pan around content.

Swipe means move one or
more fingers across an item
or the screen, then let go.

A flick is like swiping, but it’s
quicker, and is often used to
scroll content more quickly.

Pinch means move two
fingers together or apart,
usually to zoom in or out.

Touch and hold means lightly
rest your finger on an item
and wait for a reaction.
