What is `^` in Visual Studio Code key bindings notation on macOS


I'd like to open Source Control with a keyboard shortcut.

From the tooltip I can see, that a shortcut exists: tooltip shows the shortcut (^ shift G)

My problem: How do I type the caret character? On my keyboard it's (shift + 6). However this does not work for shortcuts.


Solution

  • In some environments ^ stands for the Control key. Visual Studio Code uses that notation on its MacOS version.
