Using H within info there are a series of options like

'C-n' ('next-line')
<DOWN> (an arrow key)
     Move the cursor down to the next line.

'C-p' ('prev-line')
<UP> (an arrow key)
     Move the cursor up to the previous line.

But I am not sure how to invoke them with keystrokes. I tried Shift+C then the next character (i.e Shift+C+p) but that did not work. Also tried C followed quickly by p . . .

Basic question - but have not yet found much direction.

    @αғsнιη Command (⌘) is separate from Control, though. (But don't know about how Emacs deals with them.) My Chrome shows the hotkey for Full Screen as ^⌘F, so Ctrl-Cmd-F. – ilkkachu Jan 15 '21 at 14:52

C-c is Ctrl-C. Or Ctrl+C. Or Ctrl+C, or ^C. A dear child has many names. See e.g. the list of notations on Wikipedia.

Similarly, M-c is Meta+c. Current systems don't have a key called that, usually, so Alt-c usually works as a substitute. Here, there might be a difference between an uppercase and a lowercase letter.
