If you have a MacBook (I don't know if it will work with the MBP) you can make the enter key by the cursors and right command key a delete key by downloading this file and save it in /Users/yourShortName/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ then log in and out and select DeletableUS in International Settings.

I've had my MacBook for like two months, and just today did I figure this out! lol. Then you don't have to awkwardly search for the fn-key. should you want to dedicate a function key to the forward delete, you can do this (and many other things) with the utility "Keyboard Maestro" from Michael Kamprath. using fn-delete to simulate the forward delete is well documented in the Mac help: just ask "forward delete" and it is in the first document that Mac Help sends back. Typists very rarely use this key, because while they type there is nothing ahead of the cursor anyway. the key marked "del", which sits in the middle keypad should properly be called the "forward delete key" since it deletes the next character.

It is the key most used for corrections by those who know how to type (ten fingers).
Since the advent of the cursor keys, it has been used to delete the last character typed, and therefore is properly labelled "delete" on a Mac keyboard. It has been in the position where it is since the typewriter era. OK, let's get things straight: - the backspace key should in principle just move the cursor back by one character. I use command + delete on my Macbook pro. God bless you! I have been wondering about this for the past two months, when I first got my MacBook. David Pogue's "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" fortunately explained the fn-delete format, along with other equivalent or similar keys or shortcuts that are closest to those on the PC. It is the lack of a proper delete key and the presence of other unusual keys on the Mac keyboard that before I even bought one, I got a guide book to get around.

Well i am glad that they know now, because without the delete key its pretty tough using parallels Apat 5:05 AM petejonze said.Īnd of course holding down alt as well will delete up to the end of the current word, as with backspace Apat 5:17 AM Oliver said.įor the Cmd-Tab tip, you can also use the Hide function by Cmd-Tabbing over to the app and then pressing the H key will still holding the Cmd key. But i'm surprised so many users were pleasant to know. its in that light font which is used on Fn key. I was surprised this is a tip!, I have a macbook and it literally says on the backspace key "delete". Also + Q will quit the current app or the selected app whilst on +tab. You might already know but + tab will move through open apps. I hate using the mouse/trackpad and like to have everything on keyboard. Yeah I know Cassio - it took me about 2 weeks of fiddling around with my new MBP till I discovered it so I just HAD to share it around.
