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.

*The Alt Gr (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.
