Fn + Delete key no longer forward deletes characters in Big Sur After updating to macOS Big Sur, 11.4, the capability to forward delete characters on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch using the Fn + Delete keys no longer functions. Pressing the Fn key twice still brings up the dictation, so I know the key still works, but the update seems to have changed this basic functionality for deleting characters.

'Forward delete' not working in Ventura For 18 years on a Mac of one variety or other, I've been able to forward delete by hitting fn+delete. Last month I upgraded an old Air to a MacBook Pro/Ventura, that doesn't work. Changing options to "Do nothing" does exactly that. "Change Input Source" just kicks me into another language keyboard. Don't need emojis in work documents. What am I missing! This is really affecting my productivity and I am regretting upgrading.

After upgrading to 12.6, forward delete key on bluetooth keyboard no longer works Hello, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Monetary 12.6 this morning, but have found the forward delete key on my wireless Logitech keyboard no longer works. I use this feature all the time while coding and was wondering how I can re-enable it? Prior to updating, I never had to set anything up for it. I connected the keyboard via bluetooth and it immediately worked. Now it is unresponsive. I checked in 'System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources' and see the location of the del key is greyed out. I hadn't checked this before now, so I don't know if it was or wasn't prior to the update. Thanks for the help!
