What keys do I hold down to start my Mac in safe mode?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iMac 24″, macOS 14.4
The Shift key. Have a look at > Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Start with this if M1, M2, or M3 Mac...
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.
Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
Select a volume.
Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.
Does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Restart normally.
