Fn Backspace does not delete

Hi

I use a MBP 15 TB late 2016.

I noticed that Fn+Backspace does not act as a delete key, as described but as a normal backspace. ON an external apple keyboard it works as described. Is there a setting for it or is my system broken? It happens in all applications.

Thanks

Hi ExKingKong,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities. It's great to have you here.


If you go to System Preferences > Keyboard is "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" enabled on your Mac? If so, let's disable this settings and test to see if this behavior continues.
