Delete to the right, when `fn` key is `command`

I am using `fn` physical key as `command`, so how can I delete to the right on my brand new MacBook Pro?

So no fn key? You are not just missing the forward delete but all the other combinations that use fn - no home, end, page up; no alternate functionality in the touchbar.

I am curious as to why. Your mac already has two Command keys, one on each side. Why a third? I am not sure if you could designate one of the two Command keys as your fn. Would that work?

Normally the " Fn and Delete key " will preform the Forward delete action

I have my `fn` mapped to an `option` key. This is just for productivity. Where I have most of my shortcut's under `command` which I've used to have in the bottom left. Adjusting to Mac additional modifier keys is not an option, since it's takes much more hand acrobatics to switch between tabs, etc.

The only thing, which still bothers me, is that original `fn` still holds `hold fn pressed` functionality.
