Go to Shortcuts (press Tab, then Right-arrow three times, and then Space). Change the Full Keyboard Access setting from Text boxes and lists only to All Controls (Control + F7) Many keyboards assign special functions to function keys, by default. Mac keyboards have Option and Command keys where standard PC keyboards have Alt and Windows keys. The keyboards are otherwise pretty similar, but new Mac users will need to understand these different keys. Apple’s Mac keyboards actually do have a Control (Ctrl) key, but the Control key doesn’t function like the Control key on Windows.

8.7.2 Jul 16, 2018. Josh Cary, Perfect for Musicians I record in a home studio for various types of commission work but I almost always record everything myself. This is an amazing tool that will allow you to adjust anything in your DAW when recording. I mix right in front of my computer and record, on the opposite side of the room, with a mic and headphones. It's a really big pain, while tracking, to play/sing hear and check the reverb or compressor - get up - adjust - check again - adjust - check one last time. This is no bueno.
Now that I have this seamless easy to use app I tilt my computer monitor so I can see it from across the room and I use my iPhone to switch between this app and the Logic Remote app. It allows me to make adjustments without ever getting up from in front of my carefully positioned microphone.
It allows for a more seamless workflow and it allows me to get more done faster. I didn't even take the time to understand how it works I just opened it, tapped on my computer and kept working. This developer knows what he's doing. Great job man.
If you've read this far, just get it. You would probably be wasting you time if you didn't get it at this point. Trust me it's not worth tripping over that very expensive mic that your home studio cannot afford to replace. This app + Logic Remote app = the best productivity tool for the solo home studio musician. Developer Response, Thanks!

Developer Response, Thanks! Ewass, Best app to make your phone into a mouse.
I like to hook my MacBook up to my tv. I use Bluetooth mouses and such, but I also tend to lose the usb thing or break the mouse somehow. I’ve tried other apps to make my phone a mouse, and being cheap I used the free ones. They never work that well and don’t usually last long before I delete them.
I came across this one and decided to try it out. It has far exceeded my expectations. There is a pop up keyboard, volume controls, video controls (including ones for Netflix, VLC, and other video watching platforms). It also has controls for the computer like screen brightness/sleep/shutdown. I highly recommend this app. Ewass, Best app to make your phone into a mouse. I like to hook my MacBook up to my tv.

It works extremely well and the developer is very active with updates and bug fixes (it’s rare there is a bug but when one does pop up it is fixed very quickly). The app is all around great, I mainly use it as an iTunes remote for when I’m using my Mac to watch movies on my tv but I’ve found it’s great for long downloads or installing new software because I can mirror my macs screen and control everything without having to get up.
Definitely worth every penny. I paid full price and this is my honest unbiased opinion. Developer Response, Thanks!

The most important key on a Mac’s keyboard is arguably the Command Key (⌘), which is used in a tremendous number of important keyboard shortcuts, from Command-C to copy, to Command-P to print, to Command-Shift-3 to. On a PC/Windows keyboard, however, many of the same keyboard shortcuts utilize the Control Key (⌃) instead of the Command Key.
Beyond this difference, Mac and PC keyboards also feature unique layouts, with the Alt/Option Key on a PC keyboard occupying the location of the Command Key on a Mac keyboard (immediately adjacent to the left and right of the Space Bar). This makes switching back and forth between using a Mac and PC a bit frustrating, as the user must adjust the position of their fingers after each switch to utilize all of the important keyboard shortcuts in Windows and OS X. Thankfully, users can solve this problem by optionally remapping the functions of their keyboard, effectively switching the Control and Command keys. Here’s how to do it. To remap your keyboard’s “modifier keys” — the name of keys that change the function of other keys or shortcuts, such as Command, Control, Option, and Caps Lock — in OS X, head to System Preferences Keyboard and click the button labeled Modifier Keys in the bottom-right side of the window.
This will display a list of your Mac’s four modifier keys, which by default are each set to their own function. To remap any of these keys, such as our example of switching the function of the Command and Control keys, click the drop-down menu to the right of the first key you’d like to change and select its new desired function. Next, click the drop-down menu to the right of the same key you chose in the drop-down of the first entry and change it to match the first key. In our example, we’ll set the Command Key entry to Control and the Control Key Entry to Command.
Once you’ve made your changes, just press OK to save them and close the window, then close System Preferences. To test the new configuration, head to an application that uses a shortcut with, by default, the Command Key (which is virtually any application).
For example, launch Safari and press the keyboard shortcut Control-T to create a new tab. The default shortcut for creating a new tab is Command-T, but now that you’ve switched the Command and Control key functions in System Preferences, using the Control-T shortcut should result in the appearance of a new tab in the Safari window. By switching the Command and Control keys, those who frequently use both a Mac and a PC — for example, someone who uses a PC at work but a Mac at home — can train their fingers to rely on the Control key for most important shortcuts, and count on the fact that the same key will provide the same basic functions from the same location on their keyboard. Changing your keyboard’s modifier key mappings can also come in handy if you’re using a Windows-layout keyboard with your Mac, as you’ll be able to customize the function of keys that will likely not be in the location on the keyboard which you’re accustomed to. Beyond switching the Command and Control keys, users can also change the function of the Option and Caps Lock keys, or set one or more keys to “No Action,” which will effectively disable them. A good use case for this latter ability is to disable the Caps Lock key if you find yourself frequently activating it by accident. You can also set two or more keys to the same function, such as configuring both Control and Command to act like the Command Key, although this would basically eliminate access to the second key’s default function (in this case, with the Control and Command keys mapped to the Command Key function, the user would have no keyboard access to the default Control function).
Finally, if you have more than one keyboard connected to your Mac, such as a and a, you’ll see a “Select Keyboard” drop-down menu at the top of the Modifier Keys window. Any changes you make to modifier key mappings are assigned to the selected keyboard only, so you’ll need to make the changes for each connected keyboard if you want all keyboards to function with the same remapped modifier keys. If you later find that you don’t like the changes to your Mac’s keyboard modifier keys, you can simply head back to System Preferences Keyboard Modifier Keys and make further adjustments, or click Restore Defaults to return to the default key mappings. As noted above, however, remember to do this for each connected keyboard if you want all of them to be reset to the default settings.
