Keyboard shortcuts in News on Mac
In the News app on your Mac, you can quickly accomplish many tasks using keyboard shortcuts. See the shortcuts below, as well as in News menus in the Menu bar. In app menus, keyboard shortcuts are represented by symbols.
Keyboard shortcuts in apps may vary depending on the language and keyboard layout you’re using on your Mac. If the shortcuts below don’t work as you expect, look in the app menus in the menu bar to see the correct shortcuts. You can also use the Keyboard Viewer to see your current keyboard layout, known as an input source.
