What is this keyboard symbol?

[blackxacto]

The reason I ask is because I created a keyboard action for Flatten Layers using Control+Option+Apple. If I use my keyboard command in Affinity Photo 2, I still must manually go to Document/Flatten to save as flattened. Why? I thought it represents Control, maybe not.

I’m not a Mac user, but I understand that the Command key was formerly known as the Apple key. Your screenshot tells me that the keyboard shortcut is Control+Option+Command+F, and since the first three keys are modifier keys I wouldn’t expect them to do anything without the F.

See the second section of https://support.apple.com/en-us/102650 for a list of the 5 modifier keys & their symbols. It also includes a link to a comprehensive list of all the keyboard symbols that might be found in menus.

The above link takes you to the ‘en-US’ version of that Support article. If you’d prefer to see the version of that page for your own locale, try the following link instead:

Thank you for your responses. I need to rethink my question. Thanks for the link.

Why? Doesn't what @Alfred said about needing to also press the F key explain why it isn't working if you do not include it?

Works for me @blackxacto

Control + Option + Command + small f
