Alt key
On the Mac, it’s the Option key, although the key usually says “Alt” on it, too. (In some countries, it says only Alt.) You can substitute Option for Alt in any keystroke in most popular programs. The Option key has a number of secondary features on the Mac, too: It hides the windows of one program when you click into another, and so on.
