<a name="web-browser-remap-mac-keys-user"></a>

When you use a device that runs macOS or Mac OS X to connect to WorkSpaces Applications, you can remap the Mac Option and Command keys on your keyboard. 

A *modifier key* modifies the action of another key when you use both keys together. You can use a modifier key with another key to perform a task such as printing. A *Meta key* is a special type of modifier key. You can use a Meta key to temporarily change the function of another key when you use both keys together.
