macOS Alt Codes

Back to the Apple Portal

Alt codes are keyboard shortcuts that let you easily type a special text symbol. On MacBook and Mac devices running macOS, alt codes can be done by holding down the Option key and pressing another key, listed below.

They are case-sensitive and change when holding Shift or when Caps Lock is on. They also work on iPhone (iOS) and iPad (iPadOS) if an external keyboard is connected.

* Some can be applied to a letter to add an accent. For example, Option + e then a will result in á.
