On a Mac keyboard layout, the key at the upper right of the main section is named delete. And that name alighns with how it's used across macOS: as the equivalent of the delete key on the PC layout.
The exception to that equivalence is in text editing where it behaves like backspace. But macOS doesn't ignore the desire to delete text in the other direction. fn+delete will perform a forward character delete.
- BuckyBeaver 4y agoA two-handed, unmarked key combo to delete a single character is a poor substitute for what has been a standard key on almost every other keyboard for decades. Looking at a Macbook keyboard, regardless of what label Apple puts on it, you can see that it's missing either a Backspace key or a Delete key.
