CtrlCmd is a term used in human-computer interaction and software design to describe a unified keyboard modifier meant to provide cross-platform shortcuts. It does not denote a physical key; instead, CtrlCmd serves as a label for shortcuts that should work with the Control key on Windows and Linux and the Command key on macOS. When a shortcut is described as CtrlCmd+C, the software should perform the same action on all platforms, translating CtrlCmd to Ctrl on Windows/Linux and to Cmd on macOS.
Implementation and behavior: Many cross-platform toolkits expose an abstract modifier named CtrlCmd. At runtime, the framework
Origins and usage: The concept arose with the rise of applications that span Windows, Linux, and macOS,
