CARET SYMBOL ON KEYBOARD MAC

This thread just started because you are using a symbol for alt that is non-standard and unknown outside of mac keyboards.Inflatable Lounge Furniture with Portable Design for Events In case I have not been clear, I really prefer TEXT to indicate keypresses and keystate, rather than symbols. And the footer should be consistent and just show “Ctrl Z” there too. It should just remain “Ctrl Z” and don’t worry about the space. And most users will be even more confused if it says “⎈Z”. If that is changed to “^Z” then many users will think that is really “shift Z”. Similarly I am really worried that Blender will get symbols that indicate keypresses that only make sense to a very small number of users, mostly because those are shown on your own keyboard.Īll Blender users currently see “Ctrl Z” beside “Undo” in the menu. Like arguing that a colon can be swapped for semi-colon because they look so similar, without realizing that people who do know the difference just think you are dumb. What should be used is a “horizontal ellipsis” - “…” - which is intended for that purpose.īut when I brought up that we were using the wrong character I was told that didn’t matter because what we were using was similar but smaller. When we cut off text and want to indicate that some text is missing we are adding a character called “two-dot leader” - “‥”, which can be used to designate the bounds of intervals, like “”, or to help fill wide rows like in a table of contents. This reminds me of a similar discussion I had some years ago about the character Blender uses when cutting off text that does not fit in available space.

Yes, I know exactly what is on your keyboard.

CARET SYMBOL ON KEYBOARD PC

But again, most PC keyboards show no symbol at all. Note that some PC keyboards have also used helm, while some others have used “open center asterisk” (U+2732) ✲. Following is an image of a Mac keyboard using the helm symbol (U+2388) ⎈ for control. There hasn’t really been much association between caret and control except in control script documentation from the 70s-90s.

Using caret ^ for control is problematic because most people, seeing this alone, would assume it to be shift. But, as mentioned neither symbol is ever shown on any non-mac keyboard. On your keyboard it is labelled with “Option” and has alternate text of “alt” in small letters because that key can behave as alt for non-mac programs. Similarly, no non-mac user would ever see ⌥ because it is not a symbol for alt, but is a symbol for the Mac “Option” key. So a large majority of Blender users have never seen the mac-specific ⌘ symbol and would never guess in a million years that it might indicate to press the “Windows” key. This is typical for almost all non-mac keyboards. However, when I look down at my own keyboard (Logitech G710+) I see none of them, besides “Return” and the directional arrows. When you (personally) look down at your own Mac keyboard you probably see almost all of these symbols on the keys. And for that it is important that you don’t let your own personal experience color the decision. The more important point is whether these particular symbols serve the intended purpose. Well, that these symbols take up less space than text is slightly obvious and doesn’t really need stating.
