How do I Combine Specific Computer Commands on a MAC?

Computer Commands For Apple/Macintosh Computer Keyboards and Keypads

Create the <esc> command that you see below by activating CTRL[ ( Control and left bracket ) on your spelling overlay. This sequence is shown as <esc> in all commands below. On your display you will see a small left arrow.

 When using a modifier key such as <CTRL>, <ALT>, <OPTION>, <SHIFT> or <COMMAND>, typing the word "hold" in front of the key name causes the key to be held until one additional character is entered.

Typing the word "combine" in front of the key name lets you combine several modifier keys.

For example:

<esc>,hold,shift. causes the shift key to be held until an additional letter is entered.

<esc>,combine,command,shift. causes both the command and shift keys to be held until an additional letter is entered.

 Remember: Punctuation is very important with all computer commands. You should insert a comma where requested and always end with a period.
