When compared to Windows, the backspace is too slow on my Mac. It is especially annoying when you are trying to delete a long sentence by pressing backspace. Is there way to make it go faster?
Well, since there is no backspace key on the Mac, you'd be waiting forever.
Otherwise, option-delete will delete the previous word, and command-delete will delete everything on that line.
Isn't it the other way around? There is a backspace key, but not a delete key. Pressing fn+backspace is the equivalent of pressing the delete key on a "regular" keyboard.

On a full keyboard, you get a Delete key (⌫) and a Forward Delete key (⌦).

On a small-format keyboard, you get a Delete key and press fn+Delete for the Forward Delete key.
Look at that... To me, "delete" on a mac is backspace, and "forward delete" is delete I wonder why Apple decided to change the name from what everyone else used...Nope, definitely only a delete key

Yes, but the key has kept its name for so many years. I guess I'm just reacting because I only found out today, after 26 years of owning a personal computer, that the backspace key is called the delete key on macsProbably because the delete key, you know, deletes characters.
Back in the typewriter days, the backspace key moved back one space (character.) Today, that's what the left-arrow key does.
