The CodeWarrior IDE uses similar default keyboard shortcuts, or key bindings, across most hosts. However, keys that have similar functions across hosts have different names. For example, the Ctrl key on a Windows host usually performs the same operation as the Command key on a Mac OS host and the Meta key on a Solaris host.

To handle these kinds of situations, a list shows each key binding along with its corresponding host. For operations that require multiple keystrokes, hyphens separate each key in the binding. For example, the key binding Ctrl-Alt-P instructs you to press and hold the Ctrl, Alt, and P keys, then release them.

On Solaris and Linux computers, you can map modifier keys to any key on the keyboard. See "Keyboard Preferences Dialog Box" for more information on changing the default modifier key mappings. When reading this manual, you must remember your changes to the default modifier key mappings.
