Command with Icon Kbd for React

The symbol is what's printed on the key and in macOS menus, so Mac users recognize it fastest. The word helps people who are new to Mac; docs for beginners can use it.

Show each person their own keys: ⌘K on Mac, Ctrl K elsewhere, as the Platform-Aware Shortcut example does. In static docs, list both.

Not on its own, which is why the icon is hidden with aria-hidden and a visually hidden span says Command. Screen readers read Command K; sighted users see the cloverleaf and K.

The Macintosh gave app shortcuts their own key, separate from Control, and marked it with the cloverleaf, a sign used for places of interest. It has been on every Mac keyboard since.

The character is lighter: no import, and it inherits the cap's font and color, as in the Mac Command Symbol example. The icon looks the same in every font and lines up with other icons in the interface.

Only when the same page covers both platforms. For Windows users alone, show Ctrl.
