Why does the Ctrl key is displayed as "^Ctrl" ?

[HugoSchtr]

This is a minor issue, but do we know why Mkdocs displays the Ctrl key as ^Ctrl?

See:

It's all manually set up in the mkdocs.yml file, under the "key-map" section.

^Ctrl is actually a standard/usual way to note "Control" (I see it's also mentioned on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key#Notation)

We could remove it, if it is confusing and simply keep "Ctrl".

I didn't know that! Thanks :)

No I think it's okay to keep the "^" as it is a naming convention.

I'm closing this issue!
