Hi, I am in middle of training and working on sandbox exercise. There is a need to save JSON file and quit code editor on powershell window. training instructions says to use CTRL+S (to save) and CTRL+Q to quit code editor. I doubt if the keys will be similar on Mac laptop.

Please help me with equivalent keys for Mac.

Hi Avinash Arora,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

On a Mac laptop, the key combinations differ from Windows. Here’s what you can use:

To save a file: Command + S

To quit the application or editor: Command + Q

If you’re using a terminal-based text editor like nano, you can use CTRL + X to exit.

These shortcuts should work in most graphical code editors like Visual Studio Code or others. If you’re using a different editor, you might need to check its specific documentation for the correct shortcuts.
