  The trouble shooting article on Using iOS Console indicates that after opening the TextEdit app on your Mac:

  “8. Paste the selected text by pushing the “command” key on your keyboard and the “P” key.”

  I believe you meant to say “V” key or “v” key.

  I think it is very admirable to describe specifically how to use keyboard shortcuts with explicit calls to the “command” key as you also describe how to select all text by pushing the “command” key and the “A” key as well as how to copy text by pushing the “command” key and the “C” key. But it’s kind of cruel to fake people out at the end and cause the print dialog to open in the TextEdit app.

  I think the “P” stands for pedantic. Providing the correct keyboard shortcut is typically a better tone for a support article, imho.
