Where the table is deliberately empty
5 apps here publish no Mac key for Go to the start, so those cells are left blank. A blank there is a gap in that maker documentation for Go to the start, not an oversight here, and it is never filled by converting the other system.
If the keys for Go to the start do nothing
The 7 apps listed here each decide this for themselves, so the first thing to check is that you are reading the row for the app you are actually in, and the column for your system. After that, check the app version, since go to the start is the kind of command makers move between releases. Report a correction
