Some keyboard shortcuts may be unavailable in some apps. Make sure you’re using the latest OS X version of the app.

If the keyboard shortcut uses a function key and you’re using a portable Mac, you must press the Control key first, then press the Fn key and the function key.

In Keyboard preferences, you can select an option that lets you use the function keys for keyboard shortcuts without pressing the Fn key.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
