Command Key

The Command key, also historically known as the Apple key, open-Apple key, "command squiggle", waffle key or meta key, is a modifier key present on Apple Keyboards.

An "extended" Macintosh keyboard—the most common type—has two command keys, one on each side of the space bar; some compact keyboards have one only on the left.
