In the Mac docs for IntelliJ Idea they use the keyboard icon (⌨) for some of the keyboard shortcuts. It implies one should hit all the keys, but on usb inputs you can only press six keys simultaneously (and this is the case on current Apple laptops).
Joking aside, how do you translate the following into plain English instructions?
⌥⌘⌨ *, 1
See an example in the docs here. Make sure to have your keymap set to Mac OS X (10.5+) (do this in the upper right hand corner)

A special key combination that causes a specific command to be executed. Typically, shortcut keys combine the Ctrl or Alt keys with some other keys. In Windows environments, for example, Ctrl +C is used as the shortcut key to copy. On PCs, the function keys are also often used as shortcut keys.
In Eclipse, you press CTRL + SHIFT + O “Organize Imports” to import packages automatically. For IntelliJ IDEA, if you press CTRL + ALT + O “Optimize Imports”, it just removes some unused imports, never imports any package.
Apparently, it indicates that the symbol is on the NumPad section of the keyboard:
Meta+Alt+NumPad *, 1
Press the first 3 keys together, release them, then press 1.
⌨ (keyboard) emoji is a weird choice for NumPad and there is an open request to change it back to NumPad, feel free to vote.
