Mac Commands
Certain commands for various GUIs are slightly different when running on a Mac OSX due to the keyboard setup. Below is a list of equivalent commands.
Tip: We highly suggest using a USB mouse with a laptop to make it easier to work with our GUIs. Either way, it's also recommended to change your X11 or XQuartz preferences to "emulate a three button mouse". This is under the "Input" section of preferences.
