iCalamus: Manual conventions

Manual conventions

In this iCalamus manual we use several special notation styles to visualize different things. Here is a list of these conventions:

Keys, keyboard shortcuts & buttons	They are enclosed in square brackets, like [Q], [Cmd][A], [OK] or [Cancel].
Control keys	Apple shipped various keyboards for their Macs, with various control key prints. We use these descriptors: [Shift] for both Shift keys [Esc] for the Escape key [Tab] for the Tabulator key [Ctrl] for the Control key [Alt] for the Option key [Cmd] for the Command key, also known as Apple key
File & path names	When we mention specified files or paths which are relevant for iCalamus, they are shown in a special font face, like ~/Library/Preferences

Hint: By the way, ~ is an abbreviation which is commonly used in all Unix systems (which Mac OS X belongs to). It stands for /Users/, e.g.:
Macintosh HD/Users/UlfDunkel
