The label above the split line shows the modifier sent to a Windows, Android, or Chrome device. The label below the split line shows the modifier sent to an Apple Macintosh, iPhone, or iPad. The keyboard automatically uses modifiers associated with the currently selected device.

(or Alt Graph) key, found on many international keyboards, replaces the right Alt
key and enables entry of special characters when pressed in combination with other keys.
