Command buttons are used to issue commands in a form. The OK and Cancel buttons often seen in Windows dialogs are command buttons, for example.
Each button corresponds to the direction that you can move in a menu.For example, to move right in a menu, press the navigation button that is located on the right side. If you want to move down in a menu, press the navigation button that is located on the bottom.
The Command key’s purpose is to allow the user to enter keyboard commands in applications and in the system. An “extended” Macintosh keyboard—the most common type—has two command keys, one on each side of the space bar; some compact keyboards have one only on the left.
