Cannot reproduce as well. Yup, I do believe that we could update the label on the Run test button to be consistent to OS, i.e. <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> on non-macOS and <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> on macOS

After puzzling & trying different browsers (Firefox, Brave, Chrome) & searching and finding various forum posts & Github commit comments, I eventually found this – and came here to echo this.

The keyboard shortcut description on the Check Your Code button should be platform specific. It currently isn’t – and is thus frustratingly incorrect, on Macs.

It should stay the same, i.e. Check Your Code (Ctrl + Enter) on Windows (and presumably Linux), because… this is true, that’s the key combo that clicks that button.

But on Macs, it should read: Check Your Code (Cmd + Enter) – because… it’s not Ctrl-Enter on Mac, it’s Cmd-Enter (or, Cmd-Return).
