option key
since the 1990s, "alt" has sometimes appeared on the key as well, for use as an alt key with non-mac software, such as unix and windows programs; as of 2017, the newest apple keyboards such as the magic keyboard no longer include the "alt" label. the option key in a mac operating system functions differently from the alt key under other unix-like systems or microsoft windows. most notably, it is not used to access menus or hotkeys, but is instead used as a modifier for other command codes, and also to provide easier access to various accents and symbols. in this regard, it is akin to the altgr key, found on some ibm-compatible pc keyboards.
