Dreamweaver CS6 works almost precisely the same way on the Macintosh as it does in Windows. Every button in every dialog box is exactly the same; the software response to every command is identical. In this book, the illustrations have been given even-handed treatment, alternating between the various operating systems where Dreamweaver feels at home (Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Mac OS X).
One of the biggest differences between Windows and Mac software is the keystrokes, because the Ctrl key in Windows is equivalent to the Macintosh’s ⌘ key. And the key labeled Alt on a Windows PC (and on non-U.S. Macs) is the equivalent of the Option key on American Mac keyboards.
Whenever this book refers to a key combination, therefore, you’ll see the Windows keystrokes listed first (using the + symbol for compound commands, as is customary in Windows documentation); the Macintosh keystrokes follow in parentheses (with - symbols, in time-honored Mac fashion). In other words, you might read, “The keyboard shortcut for saving a file is Ctrl+S (⌘-S).”
