Compact keyboards such as the bluetooth wireless aluminium keyboard and the built-in keyboards on all Intel-based Macintosh notebooks range from F1-F12 only, just like IBM PC keyboards. F17-F19 keys were introduced with the aluminium USB keyboard. Full-sized desktop keyboards with a dedicated numpad have function keys that can range up to F15, F16, or F19.Compared to their equivalents on the standard IBM PC keyboard layout the Command key and the Option key are located in reverse order. It functions as the Alt key in Unix and Windows environments. It serves the function of the solid-Apple key in Apple II applications. Like the Shift and Control keys, the Option key serves as a modifier for the Command key shortcuts, as well as being used to type many special characters.
