Kbase Article of the Week: Mac notebooks: Key placement and functions →

In my ‘Kbase Article of the Week’ series, I highlight a random Apple support document — old or new — that is interesting or odd. Maybe I need a hobby besides this stuff.


Article HT201181, named “Mac notebooks: Key placement and functions” opens with this:

Over time the layout and placement of special keys on the Mac notebook’s keyboards have changed. Learn about the key placement and functions on Mac notebook computers.

This document was last updated May 18, 2015, and includes renderings of a bunch of keyboards that Apple has shipped over the years on Intel Macs.
