Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Is there a way to delete forward using the apple Smart Keyboard of the original 12 inch iPad Pro. I read one post that said you can hold the world key and the delete key and the cursor will delete FORWARD but this isn’t working for me. I even deleted all other keyboards and still doesn’t work.

That doesnt work ... i already mentioned that in my original question ... holding down the globe key and also pressing the delete key just deletes backwards on my device (ie the same as if i just press the delete key alone) ... it does not delete FORWARD.
To see what shortcuts you can use on your keyboard in any given app, have you pressed the cmd key? If the shortcut you want is available, it will be listed there with the proper key press directions.
Thx ... im aware of the the command key shortcut ... if i open the Apple Mail app on the ipad and start a new email message and press the command key ... yes it shows me a brief abbreviated list of some available shortcuts ... I think what Im asking for should be more of a generic solution across most apps (or at least across most Apple apps) ...
I have an apple Ipad Pro first generation with an Apple smart keyboard ... if i use an Apple app like Mail or Safari or Notes or Pages .... is there a general keyboard shortcut on the Smart keyboard that lets me DELETE FORWARD ... many people (in other forum answers) are saying yes .... press the globe key and then press the delete key and it will delete forward .... thats not whats happening on my Ipad unfortunately ... ive even tried deleting all other keyboards and leaving the single default as the Australian keyboard (ie no emoji keyboard, or anything else) but its not working
I wish I could help you, but I'm not exactly a fan of the Smart Folio Keyboard, thus I don't own one. I use another brand keyboard (Brydge Pro).
Someone who has the Smart Folio will have to chime in if they know the answer.
That is a good point. I cannot find any documentation on whether this is a feature on all Smart Keyboard models or just specific regions. It makes sense that other region versions of the Smart Keyboard may not support this feature.
What made me think of that was a thread a couple weeks or more ago, I was trying to help someone from Belgium who wanted to know how to type a forward backslash. Turns on on the Belgium keyboard, it's not there and there is no shortcut for it either. A forward backslash simply be typed on the Belgium layout.
Thx i tried this and doesnt work. I removed all keyboards and reinstalled the US Keyboard so that the only keyboard on the device is the US Keyboard ... that still didnt work ... pressing and holding the globe key + the delete key still only deletes BACKWARDS ...
Hello,
If you hold down the keyboard change button (lower left globe icon) then press the ⌫ (Delete) key iPad will forward delete.
This is a known issue with the current prerelease versions of iPadOS. Are you running the prerelease version of iPadOS 13?
Im running the latest standard version ie 12.4.1. not a pre-release version
It could simply not be an option on the Australian keyboard, where it may be an option on other keyboards.
On my 10.5” with the Smart Keyboard, control-D does the trick.
Thx B.Willliams .... i just tried that too (control-D) and that doesnt work either ... very **** frustrating ... nothing seems to work
