How do I? (delete-- NOT backspace)

[flutist]

I'm happy this person resurrected this thread, since I was just wondering the same thing with my new Macbook Pro but hadn't yet searched for the answer. I'll try FN-backspace tonight when I see my new Mac.

Wow, I sure didn't expect to see a two page thread on how to use the Delete key here today...

It's from two and a half years ago. Just someone thought: let's give that baby CPR.

Btw, you can use USER CP > EDIT OPTIONS

> Thread Display Options > Number of posts to show per page

to change the number of posts to show per page.

a MacBook keyboard only has a "Delete" key which acts like the "Backspace" key.

That's because Apple's too stupid to provide the standard set of basic keys that everyone else has been able to, even on tiny "netbook" computers.

The best bet is to install the free Karabiner utility and switch your F12 key to "forward delete." And file a complaint with Apple here, telling them that you want a real Delete key (not a Backspace key mislabeled "delete").
