Ctrl does not always become ⌘
Blender, Maya and Houdini keep Ctrl on Mac. Adobe and Foundry software switch to ⌘.
Windows or Mac, without the traps
Many lists swap Ctrl for ⌘ automatically. That is wrong half of the time: Blender, Maya and Houdini keep Ctrl on Mac. Here every Mac key is read in the documentation, one by one. Use the toggle above and watch.

Alt is called Option
Same physical key, another name. The site shows ⌥ without pretending the shortcut changed.
And when the software has no Mac version?
Some software is Windows only. Its page says so, and the toggle does not invent a Mac key.

And if your keyboard is not a US QWERTY?
Publishers write their documentation for an American keyboard, in QWERTY. That is what the site shows, as it stands. On a French AZERTY, some letters sit elsewhere.
- AQ
QWERTY → AZERTY
The select-all of a good many applications.
- ZW
QWERTY → AZERTY
The undo key, the most worn of all.
- Mright of L
QWERTY → AZERTY
M leaves the bottom row.
- 1Shift + &
QWERTY → AZERTY
Digits need Shift, except on the numeric pad.
On a German QWERTZ, Y and Z trade places.
And it depends on the application. Some follow the letter: you press the key marked Z on your AZERTY and it undoes. Others follow the physical position, so you have to press W. Publishers rarely say which. Klacki shows the key as it is documented and stops there — guessing the rest would be lying.
Your Windows or Mac choice is kept in your browser: you make it once, the site remembers.
