On macOS it's option+delete.

It's stupid that the shortcut on MacOS is different than on Windows and you can't remember it?
> Also, want to delete a file? Yeah that's going to be a different keystroke, the delete is only for text.
AFAIK there is no macOS shortcut to delete a file in Finder. There is a shortcut to move a file to Trash. This is a different action than deleting text (there is no Trash for text), so I think it's fair to use a slightly different shortcut (command-delete).

- em500 6y agoThanks, I forgot. I normally get the shortcuts that I don't remember from the menu bar, but I forgot that holding option shows alternative options.
