Forward Delete on iPad Magic Keyboard

Just to let everyone know that Control and D acts as a forward delete - deleting everything to the right of the cursor rather than to the left.

Hope this is useful!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

iPad Pro 12 inch version 1 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.

Forward Delete not working on Magic Keyboard The forward delete is not working on my newly replaced Magic Keyboard. I'm trying FN+Delete and Ctrl+D and neither works. It's driving me crazy, never realized how often I use this shortcut. Any suggestions?
