The Control key under Mac is rarely used. When used, it is as a modifier in combination with other modifier keys. For example, in Safari (as of 2018-05-01) 【Ctrl+⌘ command+1】 show bookmarks sidebar.

【Ctrl+p】 | move up a line |
【Ctrl+a】 | beginning of line |
【Ctrl+e】 | end of line |
【Ctrl+k】 | delete current position to end of line |
【Ctrl+y】 | paste |
