What is the Mac equivalent to the Windows key?

The Command key on a Mac serves a function equivalent to the Windows key on a Windows PC. This key is used in combination with other keys to execute shortcuts that perform various functions, such as opening the Applications folder, launching Mission Control, or performing copy and paste operations. For instance, pressing Command + C copies selected items, similar to how Windows uses the Windows key in conjunction with the C key for certain shortcuts.

This functionality makes the Command key a critical component of the Mac operating system’s user interface, allowing users to navigate and utilize software efficiently, mirroring the way the Windows key provides similar capabilities on a PC. The prominence of the Command key in keyboard shortcuts further solidifies its role as a primary navigation tool for Apple users.
