What do the symbols mean in the Quarto shortcuts help page?

Description

I am asking about the Quarto shortcuts help page: https://quarto.org/docs/visual-editor/options.html

It shows various symbols for the shortcuts, e.g. something like "^ B" as a shortcut for bold, and some weird key symbol for Headings.

What do those symbols mean in terms of keys? What keys are they on e.g. Windows?

I know the up arrow is Shift, but what are the rest of the symbols?

Thanks

Thos are the Apple Mac keystrokes. ^ usually is Ctrl.
Keyboard shortcuts are all available as hover in the Visual Editor

Thank you!
Since a sizeable proportion of the population do not use Apple Macs, it would be more helpful if the help pages displayed the typical key strokes for other systems as well.

Actually, the documentation page changes depending on the OS but some symbols are still used.
On mac, ^ is control and the JavaScript kept the symbol for Windows ctrl.

I've opened an issue to fix this in the documentation.

Ahh ok, thanks for reporting that. The symbol for Alt was also not being switched to Windows correctly. Louise
