About Pages and its shortcuts

Pages is Apple's word processor, and it sits between a simple text editor and a layout tool. Its keyboard covers text and paragraph formatting, styles, and the object commands you need when a document becomes a layout rather than a letter.

Pages is Mac only here, and its iPad and iCloud versions do not share every command. Pages also has two document modes, word processing and page layout, and some commands only apply in one of them.
