Learning the keys

Renoise has an enormous amount of short-cut keys.
If you came this far, i guess you learned the most usefull keys mentioned in this chapter though, there are far more keys around and there are also a loadsome amount of functions that can be assigned to a key but aren’t assigned.
Keyboards layouts on Mac and PC keyboards differ a lot. The Mac has no “control” or “ctrl” key but uses “command” instead.
There is also a great deal of Mac keyboards that do not have a “backspace” key and then there is the issue with the “insert” key that is missing on a lot of traditional Macintosh keyboards.
To answer the question many Mac users will walk up against to “Where is the insert key”?
Use the Help key in combination with the modifyer key (command) for use in Renoise on the Mac in those occasions, the default Apple interception will be circumvented this way.
Any “insert” only situation you will have to reassign personally.
“I don’t have a delete key on my macbook”
Fn+Backspace does a delete on the MacBook.
