Try fn-Delete

I do not know where the fn key is on your keyboard. On my Macbook Pro it is in the lower left corner.

set some shortcut keys Hi, I plugged in other keyboard (Microsoft ergonomical keyboard). Delete key is not working. To delete an item in finder or whatever I need to control + click - then choose delete. Is it possible to set the delete key on the keyboard for this? Can I set a key combination to close a window instead of going with mouse to click it to close? Eg: alt + F4 or something? Can I set the backspace key of my keyboard to go one level up in finder, or to go back in browser? Thank you, Wilfried
