Forward delete word Mac extended keyboard

Hi there ykt28403,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you need to know how to forward delete. You can use Control-D or use Fn-Delete. You can find more keyboard shortcuts here: Mac keyboard shortcuts.

We hope this helps!

Hi again ykt28403,

It looks like there is not a keyboard shortcut to delete the entire word to the right of the cursor. You can make your own keyboard shortcuts by following this article: Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac.

If your keyboard shortcuts don't work the way you expect, see what to try here: If a keyboard shortcut doesn’t work on Mac.

We hope this helps!

Hi again ykt28403,

Option-Delete is already used by another keyboard shortcut, so you wouldn't be able to create a new one for that key combination. Try using Option+fn+Delete and see if that works to delete the word to the right of the cursor.

If you have any more questions, reach out to Apple directly here: Get Support.

Have a good day!
