There's very little context in the "article" or these comments. Can someone give some background for users who have never entered a keyboard shortcut on an Apple computer?
What exactly is the author concerned about that's interesting enough to post about on the internet and interesting enough to link to on HN?
I'm interested and feel like I'm missing part of the picture.
The symbols Macs use to represent modifier keys (control, alt/option, command) are hard to decipher, and on newer Mac keyboards only the command key contains the symbol printed on it.
This is true mainly on US keyboards. UK keyboards have all but the 'ctrl' icons printed on them. I have never understood why the US keyboards only have their text equivalents.
