Keyboard shortcut for Insert Page Break

To Peter Spier and Jongware, thank you very much for your help on that stubborn text frame.  I never did figure out exactly what I was doing wrong, so I ended up deleting and re-creating them, and had better luck doing that.

Anyway, my next newbie question is:  What is the keyboard shortcut for page break?  I see on the drop down menu that is is Command- something (I'm on a Mac), but I don't recognize the icon in the menu for the second key.  What the heck is that? 

Some websites said it was Command-Enter, but that didn't work.

Thanks!

    I'm guessing you're on a Mac laptop where there is no dedicated Enter key.

    In that case, it's Command + Fn + Return.

    Fn + Return gives you the Enter key (shown above the Return key on the keyboard).

    Now I understand!

    All these years I thought enter and return were two names for the same thing.

    Thanks, Steve!

    But how is someone supposed to know what those keyboard icons mean?  My Command key is the only one that has the icon on it, that four leaf clover thing.

    Thanks again, this is a great support community!

    Well, it HAS been a while since I sat in front of a Mac keyboard.


    Here's a link to a Mac keyboard symbols legend:
