Keyboard (Delete vs Backspace)

So, Apple calls Delete what IBM calls Backspace. This is not the problem. The issue is when trying to use what IBM calls the Delete. This key is not present on the bluetooth keyboards.


Now, the work around I am familiar with is to hold down CTRL & D


However, this is in a most awkward position, and doesn't seem to be helping my workflow much. Aside from the traditional method of painstakenly using the arrow keys with "delete", I'm wondering if there are any other short work-arounds I may be missing here (to delete on right-side of cursor).

iPod touch, iOS 5.1.1
