Hello in the instruction section we have only the shortcuts that work on windows, can somebody guide me on where I find the same for MAC

Hi, I haven’t found it myself online but with the help of Google Gemini it translated the windows page.

If you could confirm the quality I could ask to add to the docs :slight_smile:

n8n keyboard shortcuts translated for macOS users, using standard Mac key names and symbols (where ⌘ = Command, ⌥ = Option, ⇧ = Shift, :leftwards_arrow_with_hook: = Return, ⌫ = Delete/Backspace, ⌦ = Forward Delete):
