    This may be a silly question, but I cannot figure this out for anything.

    I have trying to use the shortcut for a superscript or subscript in Pages. It says that I can use ^ - CMD - and then + or - for this. I cannot figure out what the ^ is on the keyboard.

    I believe that's the "control" key.

    You may find this list handy.

    ⌘ = command
    ⌃ = control
    ⌥ = option
    ⇧ = shift
    ⇪ = caps lock
    ⇥ = Tab Key
    ⎋ = Escape Key
    ⏏ = Eject Key
    ⌫ = delete (the one above the return key)
    ⌦ = forward delete (the one in the page up/down/home/end cluster)
    ⌧ = clear (???)
    ⏎ = return
