(per ticket #10534 and Release_notes/11.3.0#Input we do not have an F6 shortcut, it is an undesired side-effect of mechanical keyboard support) |

Shift-A (or Shift+A) means hold the Shift key down and ''then'' press the A key ''while holding down the Shift key''. This will create a capital letter A. (The order is important: if you press the A key first, the result will be a lower case a.) |

Terminal and Ctrl shortcuts
The Terminal activity intentionally overrides Ctrl+ shortcuts, because they are needed for normal terminal usage.
In release 8.1.0 and subsequent releases, to copy or paste in the Terminal Activity, press Shift-Ctrl-c or Shift-Ctrl-v.
Using modifier keys in combination
Note about the use of modifier keys: there are several (slightly) different ways in which key combinations are indicated in the wiki. Whenever you see combinations separated by either a - or + this means to press these keys together, starting with the modifier keys. The last key in the sequence should be pressed while holding down the modifier key(s). For example:
Shift-A (or Shift+A) means hold the Shift key down and then press the A key while holding down the Shift key. This will create a capital letter A. (The order is important: if you press the A key first, the result will be a lower case a.)
Ctrl-Alt-Erase (or Ctrl+Alt+Erase) means hold down both the Ctrl and Alt keys and then press the Erase key. This will restart Sugar/X Windows. (Again, the order is important: if you press the Erase key first, the result will be a backspace.)
