If you’re trying to learn Mac keyboard shortcuts, this is a problem, so here’s a quick reference. To start, here are the main modifier keys, which you’re likely to see most often: ⌘ means Command ⌥ means Option (also called “Alt”) ⌃ means Control ⇧ means Shift. Control-L: Center the cursor or selection in the visible area. Control-P: Move up one line. Control-N: Move down one line. Control-O: Insert a new line after the insertion point. Control-T: Swap the character behind the insertion point with the character in front of the insertion point. Command–Left Curly Bracket : Left align. On Mac, if you have a keyboard without the num pad on the right-hand side, it will allow you to control the mouse using the following keys: 7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, and M. Apple Again, you’ll really only notice this on the Apple keyboards that don’t have the numeric keypad, which are pretty much the really old ones.

Hi all!
I have a 13' mid-2012 Macbook Pro running OS X v10.9.2
Yesterday some water was spilled across my keyboard at work, which I cleaned up and dried off pronto. Today, however, I have discovered that the 'control' key no longer works!
I'm looking for help on a few aspects:
1) Is there any alternative to the control key that will perform the same functions - eg. can I set the computer to make another key perform the usual functions of the 'control' key? It's kind of an important key to have!!
2) Is there any way to run a diagnostic test on the keyboard to determine why that key isn't working and/or if any other keys are damaged?
3) How can I go about getting this fixed?
Thanks for the help!!!

Hey
I am quite desperate and hope someone can help me here.
My Macbook acts as if the ctrl key is constantly pressed.
This happened a day after I spilled a tiny bit of tea on the keyboard (first everything seemed to be fine).
Now the keyboard is strange: Letters dont work but some of the other keys do. Ftp software mac free download.
External Keyboard works perfectly fine.
When using the Keyboard viewer I can see that when I press of the Letter Keys the key turns grey. So basically they should work.
Macbook Pro Keys Not Working
By pressing the shift key on the internal keyboard or the enter key on the external following happens:
sorry I cant use screenshots because we wont be able to see it right then.
I already took the ctrl key out and checked it. Everything looks clean and right. It really just was a tiny bit of non sweeted tea.
I have googled this and spend already hours and reading and trying to find a solution to this problem but failed so far.
Really hope someone can help me.
It is a late 2009 macbook with OSX 10.7.2
Thank you in advance Linux 3d software.
