Apple Mac and Windows PC Photoshop keyboard shortcut differences



I’ve had a few comments since I’ve been writing this site about how I only ever show the Apple Mac Photoshop keyboard shortcuts – I am working on a solution to this (and update the whole site of-course, eek!). In the meantime, here are the simple differences – not too much to remember!

MAC – OPTION/ALT = PC – ALT

MAC – COMMAND/APPLE = PC – CTRL/CONTROL

PC users have always found it very amusing that Apple Macs only have one mouse button – and therefore no right mouse button click, although little do they know that pretty much any 2 button USB mouse will work on a Mac, along with their crazy Microsoft 20 button ergonomic 2 tone gun metal mouse (yes, they do the drivers for Macs too!).

Apple Mac users with a standard mouse have to press CTRL/CONTROL and click to get a right mouse button click, where-as PC users and Mac users with proper mice simply right click.
