      Mac does have a "Control" key
           (even labeled "Ctrl" on my German MacBook keyboard, not "Strg"
as the
      localization of "Ctrl" on German standard PC-style keyboards), and
Writer's
      "Format - Clear Direct Formatting" (which this help item is
presumably about) is
      indeed Ctrl+M (labeled "^M" in the menu) on macOS.
           So unconditionally use "Ctrl+M" here for now, notwithstanding
potential Mac
      localization issues (see that German "Ctrl" vs "Strg" issue).


I have no idea how we generally handle this issue in documentation and
translation: always use generic "Ctrl+M" (whatever that gets translated to);
use some mark-up to ensure (German etc.) translation will be "Strg+M" for
non-Mac and "Ctrl+M" for Mac; use "Control+M" on Mac (as had been done prior

Even if Macs might have a ctrl key now, most of the functions/commands
are done with the command key, so it is not a mapping of changing the
label of a key in the docs, it is actaully referring to a different
keycombination.

"I don’t think Macs have Control keys…"; or...?

that is wrong. Just replacing cmd with ctrl won't make that shortcut
work with ctrl+M

Of course not. But this is about documenting LO behavior, and at least recent LO master on macOS behavior is that Writer's "Format - Clear Direct Formatting" is activated by Ctrl+M.
